Waste Management Engineering Waste Management Engineering, Oklahoma Cooperative Extension ServiceWaste Management Engineering, Oklahoma Cooperative Extension ServiceWaste Management Engineering, Oklahoma Cooperative Extension Service"Waste Management"First of all, there is no such thing as waste. In the process of making things, we also createbyproducts. If the byproduct has no value, it is a waste product -- but everything has some value -- solet's callit"undervalued byproduct"Engineering Program AreasThe Mascot of Waste Management Engineers is the Dung Beetle. Like the dung beetle,engineersfind ways to give value to the undervalued byproducts.The three main program areas in waste managementengineering are:Materials HandlingWaste materials are tough to handle.They can have the consistency ofa liquid, a slurry, a semi-solid, or a solid. No matter the consistency, they can be abbrasive, corrosive, sticky, and usually a little smelly. In this program area, we explore the basic characteristics of materials, and figure out how to move, store, mix, separate, settle, and supend the materials.Systems OperationsWaste products are handled insystems consisting of production, treatment,storage, and utilization subsystems. In this program area, we give managers the tools to properly operate waste handling systems. This area also includes the environmental impacts of waste handling,and regulations covering the safe operationof systems.Waste TreatmentTreatment is the transformation ofbyproducts tomake them easier to handle, less noxious,and better suited for other uses. Some treatment technologies we are working on in Oklahoma include composting, vermicomposting, and anaerobic digestion.Other Waste Management Web Resources at Oklahoma StateSome other websites dealing with waste management include:Manure Utilization website in Plant and Soil Science.Municipal Solid Waste website in Agricultural EconomicsPoultry Waste Management Education, and Poultry Litter Market websites in Green County
