| 102-0214-AAL | Introduction to Urban Water Management  Enrolment ONLY for MSc students with a decree declaring this course unit as an additional admission requirement. Any other students (e.g. incoming exchange students, doctoral students) CANNOT enrol for this course unit. | 6 credits | 13R | E. Morgenroth, M. Maurer | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Abstract | Introduction to urban water management (water supply, urban drainage, wastewater treatment, sewage sludge treatment). Introduction to Urban Water Management is a self-study course. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Learning objective | This course provides an introduction and an overview over the topics of urban water management (water supply, urban drainage, wastewater treatment, sewage sludge treatment). It supports the understanding of the interactions of the relevant technical and natural systems. Simple design models are introduced. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Content | Overview over the field of urban water management. Introduction into systems analysis. Characterization of water and water quality. Requirement of drinking water, production of wastewater and pollutants Production and supply of drinking water. Urban drainage, treatment of combined sewer overflow. Wastewater treatment, nutrient elimination, sludge handling. Planning of urban water infrastructure. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lecture notes | Water Supply and Pollution Control. 8th edition (2009). By: Warren Viessman, Jr., Mark J. Hammer, Elizabeth M. Perez and Paul A. Chadik. Pearson Prentice Hall, Upper Saddle River, NJ. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Literature | In this self-study course the students must work through and understand selected sections from the following book Viessman, W., Hammer, M.J. and Perez, E.M. (2009) Water supply and pollution control, Pearson Prentice Hall, Upper Saddle River, NJ. Students must understand and be able to discuss the required reading in a 30 min oral exam. The required reading is explained in detail on the website of the professorships of urban water management. Additional information can be obtained during the office hours of the professors' assistants. The required reading and studying should correspond roughly the time invested in the course Siedlungswasserwirtschaft GZ. Students are welcome to ask the assistants (http://www.sww.ifu.ethz.ch/group/teaching-assistants.html) for help with questions they have regarding the reading. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Prerequisites / Notice | Some students joining the MSc program in Environmental Engineering at ETH Zürich have to take additional courses from our BSc program. The decision of what courses to take is done at the time of admission at ETH. The course on "Introduction to Urban Water Management" is offered at ETH Zürich only in German. Students who can speak and understand German must take the course (Siedlungswasserwirtschaft GZ) and get a passing grade. For students that do not have sufficient German language skills there is a self-study course and they have to take an oral exam. This course is required for further in depth courses in urban water management. Prerequisite: Hydraulics I and Hydrology | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 102-0217-00L | Process Engineering Ia | 3 credits | 2G | E. Morgenroth | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Abstract | Biological processes used in wastewater treatment, organic waste management, biological resource recovery. Focus on fundamental principles of biological processes and process design based on kinetic and stoichiometric principles. Processes include anaerobic digestion for biogas production and aerobic wastewater treatment. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Learning objective | Students should be able to evaluate and design biological processes. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Content | Stoichiometry Microbial transformation processes Introduction to design and modeling of activated sludge processes Anaerobic processes, industrial applications, sludge stabilization | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Literature | There will be a textbook that students need to purchase (see http://www.sww.ifu.ethz.ch/education/lectures/process-engineering-ia.html for further information). | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Prerequisites / Notice | For detailed information on prerequisites the student should consult the lecture program and important information (syllabus) of Process Engineering Ia that can be accessed via http://www.sww.ifu.ethz.ch/education/lectures/process-engineering-ia.html | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

| 102-0227-00L | Systems Analysis and Mathematical Modeling in Urban Water Management  | 6 credits | 4G | E. Morgenroth, M. Maurer | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Abstract | Systematic introduction of material balances, transport processes (kinetics, stoichiometry and conservation), ideal reactors, residence time distribution, heterogeneous systems, dynamic response of reactors, parameter identification, local sensitivity, error propagation, and Monte Carlo simulations. Introduction to real-time control (PID controllers). Extensive numerical simulations with coding. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Learning objective | The goal of this course is to provide the students with an understanding of how urban water system can be described with mathematical models, and give them the to plan experiments, to evaluate error propagation and to test simple process control strategies in the field of process engineering in urban water management. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Content | The course will provide a broad introduction into the fundamentals of modeling water treatment systems. The topics are: - Introduction into modeling and simulation - The material balance equations, transport processes, transformation processes (kinetics, stoichiometry, conservation) - Ideal reactors - Hydraulic residence time distribution and modeling of real reactors - Dynamic behavior of reactor systems - Systems analytical tools: Sensitivity, parameter identification, error propagation, Monte Carlo simulation - Introduction to process control (PID controller, fuzzy control) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Lecture notes | Copies of handouts will be available digitally. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Literature | There will be a required textbook that students need to purchase: Willi Gujer (2008): Systems Analysis for Water Technology. Springer-Verlag, Berlin Heidelberg | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Prerequisites / Notice | Students should have a general understanding of urban water management as many examples are taken from processes relevant to related systems. This course is offered in parallel to the course Process Engineering Ia. It is beneficial but not necessary to follow both courses simultaneously. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
