Thesis Abstract

Abstract
Water is an essential resource for various industrial processes, but the discharge of wastewater from industries poses a significant environmental challenge. The design and optimization of water treatment plants play a crucial role in ensuring sustainable industrial wastewater management. This thesis focuses on the development of a comprehensive approach to designing and optimizing a water treatment plant to address the challenges associated with industrial wastewater treatment. The introductory chapter provides an overview of the project, including the background of the study, problem statement, objectives, limitations, scope, significance, and the thesis structure. The literature review chapter explores ten key themes related to water treatment plant design, optimization techniques, industrial wastewater characteristics, and the importance of sustainable wastewater management practices. The research methodology chapter outlines the approach taken to design and optimize the water treatment plant, including data collection methods, analytical techniques, and simulation tools used in the study. Various aspects, such as process design, equipment selection, and operational parameters, are considered in the design and optimization process. Chapter four presents a detailed discussion of the findings obtained from the design and optimization process. The results highlight the efficiency of the proposed water treatment plant design in treating industrial wastewater while considering factors such as cost-effectiveness, energy efficiency, and environmental impact. Finally, the conclusion and summary chapter provide a comprehensive overview of the project, summarizing the key findings, implications for sustainable industrial wastewater management, and recommendations for future research directions. Overall, this thesis contributes to the advancement of sustainable practices in industrial wastewater treatment through the design and optimization of water treatment plants.
