Aims :

The course teaches the know of different biological unitary operations for wastewater treatment plants . This course want to give the means to design and to manage drinking and wastewater treatment plants.
The teaching methodology, is constituted from theoretical lessons and visits to real wastewater treatment plants

Topics :

Law
- Law analysis in force, in matters of: “drinking waters”, “wastewater treatment, waters protection from pollution” and “treatmement sludge”.
Waters of supply

- Water cycle and natural water characteristics. Hardless and aggressive waters. Water supply requisites for drinkable use. Management and measuring for water treatment processes (membrane processes, ionic exchange, coagulation, filtration, sedimentation and disinfection).

Waste Waters
- Waste water characteristics (chemical, physical and biological characteristics, composition, unitary load factors, waste variation in concentration, management and control of the analytical data). Elements of conceptual process design; evaluation and selection of the flows, evaluation and selection of the loads, process selection, hydraulic profile, mass balances.

Physical treatments
- Screening, , Grit removal, flow equalization, granular medium filtration, sedimentation, mixing, thickening, carbon adsorption, flocculation,flottation,disinfection,sludge dewatering: process theory, design and management .
