The teaching is organized as follows:
Teoria
Laboratorio
Learning outcomes
The course g aims at transferring to students the basic knowledge about transport phenomena (matter, energy and momentum transfer) as well as the methodology for mass and energy balances around bioreactors operating both in batch and continuous mode for industrial production. These aspects are essential basic information for future courses on the same topic at master level. The course is formed of two modules: one frontal teaching activity (5 CFU) and the lab activity (1 CFU). The lab activity is orientated to the transfer of practical knowledge for the solution of quantitative problems.
Program
------------------------
MM: teoria
------------------------
Mass balance of environmental bioprocesses, calculation of yields and efficiencies; Enzyme kinetics, Michaelis Menten equation, Inhibition, Microbial Growth and Monod Equation, Goundwork of environmental bioreactors for bio-refineries application, numerical exercises of real case studies; Biological oxidation, nitrification, denitrification, biological phosphorus removal, etc.), energy recovery through anaerobic digestion. Graphic representation of an environmental chemical/bioprocess, use of simulators (software) for modeling and testing of environmental bioreactors.
------------------------
MM: laboratorio
------------------------
Analyses of the COD concentration in the influent, effluent and waste activated sludge from the bioreactor; Analyses of the nitrogen forms concentration in the influent, effluent and waste activated sludge from the bioreactor; Analyses of the organic phosphorus and orto-phosphate concentration in the influent, effluent and waste activated sludge from the bioreactor; Respirometric analyses to determine the COD fractions in a wastewater
Bibliography
Examination Methods
Candidates must attend the final exam consisting of a written test followed by an oral test. The written test consists of 2 numerical exercises and a question related to the theoretical part of the lesson. The written test will be evaluated with a maximum score of 25/30. The oral test as a topic of discussion is the candidate's report on practical laboratory experience. The rating will have a maximum score of 5/30. The final outcome will be the sum of the scores obtained from the written test and oral test.

Attendance
As stated in point 25 of the Teaching Regulations for the A.Y. 2021/2022, attendance is not mandatory. However, professors may require students to attend lectures for a minimum of hours in order to be able to take the module exam, in which case the methods that will be used to check attendance will be explained at the beginning of the module.Please refer to the Crisis Unit's latest updates for the mode of teaching.
