The student will gain experience in team work with the focus on the design of waste water treatment plant technologies. The experience will be from the point of view of construction, technology, calculation, and economic parameters.

passing "Water and wastewater engineering"

Not applicable.

The lecturer presents the theoretical background of designing WWTP technologies using PowerPoint presentations. The lecturer divides the students into 3–4 member teams and provide input data for solving the project team. Students select role: team leadership, text, calculation, drawings, and economic part. In the last lesson, the team leader presents teamwork by presentations in PowerPoint and the printed project to other students and lecturer.

Students receive credit for the elaborated and defended team project. Passing the examination is conditional on the granting of credit. The exam consists of a written test (min. 50% required) and oral examination.

1. Introduction of waste water treatment, legislation, a scheme of municipal waste water treatment plant (WWTP)
2. Hydrotechnical calculations for WWTP design
3. Waste water (WW) pumping station, WW overflows
4. Pre-treatment of waste water
5. Biological treatment process, design of an activation tank
6. Biological treatment process, design of a settling tank
7. Sludge management at the WWTP
8. Drying of sewage sludge (solar and belt dryer)
9. Material transformation of sewage sludge (gasification, incineration, hydrothermal carbonization, pyrolysis, torrefaction)
10. Membrane treatment processes
11. Reuse technologies (clean WW reuse and heat energy reuse from WW)
12. Removal of organic pollutants from WW
13. Presentation of the WWTP design

Not applicable.

The course focuses on the designing of facilities in waste water (WW) treatment technologies, especially on the designing of municipal waste water treatment plant (WWTP). The team work on the WWTP design is carried out in a 3–4 member team focusing on the team leadership, text part, calculation part, drawing part, and economic part. The course is focused on work in the wider area of WW management, thus preparing students for design activities, constructions, legislation, engineering activities, and operators of WWTP.

Attendance at lectures is not obligatory but recommended. Participation in courses is obligatory.
