At the wastewater treatment plant, students shadowed experienced design and process engineers, on all operations at the facility, including sludge dehydration and testing on a laboratory scale. An in-depth tour and understanding on the workings and maintenance associated to the equipment utilized on the plant was also embarked upon by students. Students were privileged to be part of the design meetings where the experienced engineers worked on the expansion of the plant for further wastewater treatment to provide potable quality water.
