Learning Outcomes

With the successful completion of the course, the student will be able to:

  • It presents the qualitative characteristics of wastewater and the methods for their determination.
  • It recognises the stages of preliminary and primary wastewater treatment.
  • It explains the basic principles of microbial metabolism in wastewater treatment.
  • He/she selects appropriate biological treatment methods for the removal of organic material and nutrients.
  • It describes the methods of sludge treatment and disposal.
  • It evaluates the available disinfection and treated wastewater disposal techniques.
  • It connects wastewater treatment processes with environmental protection and public health safety requirements.
