Description
Duration: 4 days
This four day course builds on the fundaments from the first course. After a brief rehearsal of the concepts presented in part I, other main treatment processes will be covered, such as phosphorus removal (both biological and chemical) and the integration with anaerobic pre-treatment. More detail will be given to final settler design (using empirical methods) and -operation (static point analysis). Design and operation of MBR will be explored. Operation and -control of nitrogen removal systems will be discussed. A final subject is remediation of sludge separation problems caused by filamentous bacteria.
- Membrane Bio-Reactors
- Biological phosphorus removal
- Chemical phosphorus removal
- Anaerobic treatment of municipal and industrial wastewater
- Final settler design - empirical methods
- Final settler operational optimization - static point analysis
- Sludge drying beds
- Sludge separation problems
This course will be given in intensive full-day sessions (from 8:30 to 17:30 hrs), in a mixture of presentation of theoretical concepts, design- and calculation examples and short- and longer exercises to work on: both in-class and as homework assignments.
The days will start with a summary of yesterdays main learning points and a discussion on the homework assignment(s), handed out the previous day. Part of the homework assignment will be a multiple choice test, which will be used to check whether the concepts presented have been sucessfully conveyed.
At the end of the course, the students will be provided with a practical design case, which will serve as an "examination". A spreadsheet for optimized design of nitrogen removal is supplied that can be used as a starting point. The students are expected to finalize the design case at home. They will receive feedback on their results and a spreadsheet containing the solution.
You will an attendance certificate of 60 hrs for Advanced Design Course Part II, if you participate the whole course and hand in the multiple choice exams. Assuming you produce a “workable” solution to the design problem, you will get a graduation certificate as well. We will supply you with detailed printed handouts of the presentations (you will have received the book already in the Advanced Design Course part I).
Please note that fluency in English is essential to make your attendance to the course worthwile. Furtherwore it is assumed that the attendees have attended Advanced Design Course Part II. The course will be given at BSc/MSc level or equivalent.
