Future effluent requirements on wastewater treatment will be more stringent regarding nutrients as well as various micropollutants. At the same time there are high expectations on space- and energy efficient solutions.
The aim of the course is to:
1) provide in-depth knowledge of principles and methods for mechanical, biological and chemical wastewater treatment
2) provide tools to apply in selection and design of advanced wastewater treatment systems.

The design process - data evaluation and process selection
The activated sludge process - principles and design
Biofilm processes - principles and design
Tertiary treatment - principles and design
Membrane bioreactors and direct membrane filtration of raw wastewater
Alternative nitrogen removal
Sludge handling and anaerobic digestion - principles and design
Removal of micropollutants
Source sorting
Urban infrastructure and stormwater treatment

be able to suggest suitable treatment technologies for a wastewater stream with given prerequisites in terms of hydraulic loading, pollutant loading and effluent requirements.

based on given prerequisites and for municipal wastewater be able to design activated sludge processes and biofilm processes, design tertiary treatment processes, design sludge handling systems, provide principle designs for removal and degradation of micropollutants, orally and in writing present an advanced system for wastewater treatment to other students, and critically examine scientific papers within certain fields of wastewater treatment.

be able to assess advantages and disadvantages connected to various (selected) treatment processes based on consequences on effluent water quality, foot-print, energy efficiency and handling of bio solids.
