Learning outcomes
This is an introductory course on the basic principles of anaerobic technology with emphasis on relevant current topics such as waste-derived energy, biofuels, and material recovery. After completing the course, students will have the necessary basic knowledge of anaerobic treatment of wastewater, solid waste, and sludge to proceed to advanced levels in the field. They will master the basic principles, terminology, and calculations of the anaerobic process. Students will also learn how to do a scientific data search and compile scientific reports on renewable bioenergy such as bio-methane, bio-hydrogen, biodiesel, and how to identify the waste fraction suitable for energy production and recovery of other useful material.
