Native organizations units: Department of Environmental Engineering and Occupational Safety and Health

Type of studies	Title
Master Academic Studies	Water Treatment and Safety Engineering (Year: 1, Semester: Winter)

General information:

Category	Theoretical-methodological
Scientific or art field	Environment Protection Engineering
ECTS	7

- To introduce the basic parameters of waste streams, to the students; - To develop knowledge about technologies used in the treatment of wastewater, sludge and waste gasses; - To train students in using software packages for simulation and optimization of waste streams treatment processes.

After completing the course and passing the exam, the student will be able to: - Define and interpret the basic parameters of waste streams; - Select and apply technologies in the treatment of wastewater, sludge and waste gasses; - Use software packages for simulation and optimization of waste streams treatment processes.

The parameters of wastewater. Wastewater. Deposition. Coagulation. Flotation. Filtration. Aeration. Degassing. Disinfection. Membrane processes. Mechanisms of adsorption and application of adsorption in the waste water treatment. Fixed bed adsorption processes. Biological wastewater treatment. Sludge. Methods for sludge thickening. Sludge conditioning. Sludge dehydration. Exhaust fumes. Gas-gas separation. Gas-solid separation. The subject project students take by making process simulations of the wastewater treatment and sludge, as well as the process of air purification in adequate software package, using previously acquired knowledge on the subject of process operations used for that purpose.

Lectures, computer practice, field practice, study tours and individual consultations.
