AE2302 Water Treatment Processes and Technology
KTH Royal Institute of Technology
Open to program students from KTH with at least 180 credits, or other applicants with a bachelor's degree, of which at least 7.5 credits in general chemistry and / or environmental and soil chemistry. In addition, second cycle courses for at least 30 ECTS credits are required, of which completed course AE2304 (or equivalent).
The course presents: different processes in water and wastewater treatment in natural and constructed systems, biological treatment processes particularly for the removal of phosphorus and nitrogen, processes based on filtration and chemical precipitation, sludge treatment technologies, systems and methods for recovery of nutrients from sewage, methods for process control and optimisation.
The overall aim of the course is to give knowledge of process technology for present and future water purification and wastewater treatment, including construction, dimensioning, operation and management of treatment plants.
After the course you should be able to:
- Calculate how to construct and manage different processes involved in sustainable water and wastewater treatment.
- Apply chemical and biological knowledge that the processes are based on for use in case studies.
- Apply innovative technologies for new systems and improvement of old systems to get better function and fulfill the requirement of the society.
- Propose sludge treatment technologies.
- Use computer models for development and design of processes.
- Operate and optimize treatment plants.
