Content

Laboratory and experimental techniques for the assessment of water and wastewater processes are introduced and executed: Sedimentation, coagulation and floculation, adsorption, absorption, membrane filtration, disinfection, respirometry, SBR bioprocess analysis. Exercises are summarized in written reports.

Learning outcome

Theoretical understanding and skills necessary for conducting experimental methods and technical assessments of unit operations aimed at process design and operations. Knowledge of case studies applications. Be able to perform experimental tests of water quality and unit processes for treatment of industrial raw water and wastewaters. General competences, including terminology, use of equipment, practical and theoretical analysis, of water treatment unit processes for design and operations. In addition, students will learn how to structure and formulate technical reports based on their activities.
