Course detail
Designing of facilities in waste water treatment technologies
FCH-MC_COVAcad. year: 2022/2023
The course provides theoretical knowledge and practical skills to design facilities in waste water treatment plant (WWTP). The complex project of the municipal WWTP is solved in 3-4 member team and it is focused on theoretical, computational, and engineering designs of each facility: pumping stations, waste water (WW) pretreatment, biological treatment, and sludge management. In this case, the course is also focused on innovative technologies material transformation of sewage sludge, membrane technologies, technologies for reuse of treated WW and the technology to remove organic pollutants from WW. The course provides an experience of teamwork of the complex design of WWTP.
