The photo shows a slide lifted off of my presentation for ETHICS class on the topic of Naturalism. As someone particularly interested in environmental aspects, I chose to report on this topic. Naturalism is a perspective or belief that everything arises from natural phenomena. Concerning chemical engineering it can be applied to design processes harnessing natural phenomena, such as what we used during our equipment design, an HDH system based on the rain cycle. Aligning naturalistic beliefs with different laws, especially emissions, can be a step towards sustainable and responsible practices.
The photo shows a slide lifted off of our presentation for our proposed wastewater treatment. As seen, we made sure to properly look into the removal of COD and BOD from wastes, which were our main problem. Therefore, we opted for the use of the activated sludge process, which is an aerobic process mainly used due to its ability to remove odor, while in regards to aerobic vs anaerobic, we opted for an aerobic process as our COD levels are less than 4000 mg/L. All these factors considered, our effluent is now ready to be disposed to the river.
The photo shows a slide lifted off of our presentation for the Clean Air Act. Through this presentation, I was able to know the provisions inside the act and the use of each parameter the government has set. For example, there are air sheds wherein different people, not only from our government, can participate to help reduce our air emissions.
