After successful completion of the course, students are able to determine the baseline in terms of environment and data for the design of a wastewater treatment plant and then calculate the volumes and process data of the WWTP.

Wastewater characterisation, basic biochemical processes, mass balances, kinetcs of biological processes, data base for design, design procedure for activated sludge processes, with special emphasis on nitrogen and phosphorus removal, other biological treatment processes (membrane bioreactors, biofilters), influence of sludge treatment on wastewater treatment, supernatant treatment.
