Requirements

Full participation in both the laboratory experiments and reports writing.
Completion parts must belong to the same implementation

Learning Outcomes

After completing the course, students will have the necessary knowledge, skills, and techniques for advanced level applications. They will master the chemostat and be able to design, set up, and operate various laboratory aerobic or anaerobic reactors and define and characterize wastes and select suitable treatment with emphasis on by-products and biofuel/biogas production. Students will also be able to calculate and control kinetic parameters and biomass growth.

Content

Content Core content Complementary knowledge Specialist knowledge
1. Design and operation of aerobic or anaerobic wastewater treatment processes, biogas/biofuel production, biomass growth, and inhibition kinetics.      

Instructions for students on how to achieve the learning outcomes

Students` understanding of the course material is evaluated based on students' performance with laboratory experiments and production of laboratory reports.

Assessment scale:

Numerical evaluation scale (1-5) will be used on the course
