Course participants acquire basic knowledge about the amounts and composition, as well as the collection and treatment of municipal waste streams. Bioreactors and basic bioprocess kinetics are being discussed together with appropriate monitoring strategies. Students learn to assess environmental issues and evaluate different biotechnological solutions and bioreactor types depending on the area of application.
The course focuses on:
Further, the course teaches basic notions on, as well as technical concepts and first draft dimensioning of plants treating waste mechanically and/or biologically. Planning tools such as mass balancing and the calculation of emission potentials and costs of treatment plants are being discussed.
Detailed dealing with the topic of biological waste treatment covers:
Finally, theoretical basics are being illustrated together with practical examples at technical scale.
