| Abstract | The purpose of this course is to build on the fundamental understanding of biological processes and wastewater treatment applications that were studied in Process Engineering Ia. Case studies that are jointly discussed in class and student led projects allow you to advance the understanding and critical analysis of biological treatment processes. | |||||
| Learning objective | Students should be able to evaluate existing wastewater treatment plants and future designs using basic process understanding, mathematical modeling tools, and knowledge obtained from the current literature. The students shall be capable to apply and recognize the limits of the kinetic models which have been developed to simulate these systems. | |||||
| Content | Advanced modeling of activated sludge systems Nitrification, denitrification, and biological P elimination Enrichment in mixed culture systems using, e.g., selectors Biofilm kinetics and application to full scale plants Critical review of treatment processes | |||||
| Lecture notes | Copies of overheads will be made available. | |||||
