Learning objectives
The course aims to provide knowledges of conventional and advance biological processes for the treatment of waste and wastewater from different origin (agro-industrial, municipal, industrial). During the course will be provided the knowledge aiming the design conventional biological and advanced operation units to treat and/or valorize wastewater from municipal or industrial wastewater and sewage sludge.
Prerequisites and basic notions
Knowledge learned in general and inorganic chemistry, organic chemistry and physics courses.
Program
-Wastewater characterization and main chemical/physical parameters;
-Respirometric techniques for COD fractionation and evaluation of kinetic constants;
- Bioreactors applied to wastewater treatment (continuous and discontinuous) and equations;
- Operational units in physical, chemical, biological and advanced treatments;
- Design in physical and chemical treatments. Flow metering, screening, desanding, equalization, mixing, primary sedimentation, chemical precipitation, disinfection with chlorine compounds, post-areation, odor control.
- Design in biological treatments. Activated sludge processes, attached and suspended mass reactors.
-Design in advanced treatments. Biological nitrogen removal; nitrification; denitrification. Biological removal of phosphorus. Combined biological removal of nitrogen and phosphorus. Removal of phosphorus by chemical means.

The course includes in-presence lessons
Learning assessment procedures
Attending and non-attending candidates will have to take an oral test focusing on the topics covered during the course. During the exam, the candidate will present a technical report concerning the design of an activated sludge process and monitoring methods for the biological process.
Evaluation criteria
Degree of project thoroughness, adequacy of calculation methods, and consistency of answers to theoretical questions.
Criteria for the composition of the final grade
The technical report will be evaluated up to a maximum of 15 out of 30. The answers to the theoretical questions will be graded up to a maximum of 15 out of 30. The final grade will be equal to the sum of the two scores obtained.
