POTSDAM – As a volunteer presenter, Clarkson University Assistant Civil and Environmental Engineering Professor Siwen Wang recently developed a drinking water treatment course for SOAR North Country, a local "third age" learning group.
The course was presented to members of SOAR on Sept. 26 at SUNY Potsdam’s Maxcy Hall.
Aiming to promote public awareness of water, sanitation, and hygiene, the course introduced the goals and history of water treatment, water sources and characteristics, regulations and treatment processes.
Wang and a Ph.D. student in Civil and Environmental Engineering at Clarkson University, Yunqiao Guan, also developed a demonstration for a conventional water treatment flow diagram, including coagulation/flocculation, sedimentation, granular media filtration, and disinfection.
The demonstration showed clear differences in the water quality before and after treatment, and also visualized the chemical reaction that happens in the coagulation/flocculation process.
