Wastewater treatment

The aim of this module is to provide an overview of technologies for wastewater, industrial and drinkable water treatment. It gives the fundamental notions in terms of current legislation, technologies (overview of main processes, monitoring and optimization systems). In addition to seminar teachings, practical work will provide students the basics in terms of design of wastewater and sludge treatment lines. Visits of full-scale wastewater treatment plants are planned.
