The course deals with the principles and application of various wastewater treatment technologies. Both high-tech and low-tech systems are discussed, applicable in industrialized and developing countries. Anaerobic treatment systems, focused on resource recovery, are widely discussed. Modern technologies for the removal / recovery of nutrients and membrane techniques for wastewater treatment are illustrated.
