2. Objectives and learning outcomes
2.1 Objectives
The aim of the course is to introduce the complex processes taking place during drinking water and wastewater treatment technologies:
- Technological lines suitable for the purification of drinking water, especially in the case of deep water bases, with special regard to the removal of iron, manganese, arsenic and ammonium ions
- Water quality changes in the water distribution system
- Analysis of case studies (technological deficiencies, water quality deterioration in the water distribution system)
- Possible technologies for wastewater treatment for large, medium and small wastewater treatment plants
- Activated sludge methods, biofilm methods, case studies, sludge treatment, biogas utilization, energy balance of wastewater treatment plants
2.2 Learning outcomes
Upon successful completion of this subject, the student:
A. Knowledge
- Contaminants in water sources and their removal technologies.
- Technologies used in wastewater treatment plant.
- Secondary water quality deterioration processes in the drinking water supply network, their effects.
- Basics of activated sludge and biofilm wastewater treatment.
- Wastewater treatment technologies of large wastewater treatment plants.
- Wastewater treatment technologies of medium wastewater treatment plants.
- Wastewater treatment technologies of small wastewater treatment plants.
- Treatment options for sewage sludge, conditions for biogas utilization.
- Basics of energy balance in wastewater treatment plants.
B. Skills
- Desing of complex drinking water treatment technologies.
- In the case of water abstraction from a deep aquifer, assessing the water quality problems at the case study area and outline proposals for their solution.
- Depending on the size of the wastewater treatment plant, designing technological lines.
C. Attitudes
- Collaborates with the instructor and groupmates.
- Expands his / her knowledge by constantly acquiring knowledge, and for this, in addition to the compulsory curricula, looking for answers to questions from web resources.
- Strives for comprehensible, precise wording in oral communication, and strives for the sophisticated documentation required by the engineering profession.
D. Autonomy and Responsibility
- Independence and responsibility
- Cooperation with fellow students in teamwork.
2.3 Methods
Lectures with theoretical knowledge; written and oral communication. Use of IT tools and techniques. Solving case study tasks together or in group work.
