This course describes technologies for wastewater treatment in terms of understanding and assessing the function of wastewater technology systems as a whole. This includes the handling of the fundamental treatment technologies and the planning, design and operation of regular wastewater treatment plants according to the state-of–the-art. This course concentrates especially on special case studies and prepares students for the fields of research and development that they grapple with later on.

This course deals with planning, design and operation of wastewater treatment plants and decentralized as well as advanced wastewater treatment technologies and sludge treatment technologies. It covers decentralized systems for rural areas and small villages, operation and control of wastewater systems, advanced wastewater treatment (nutrient removal, coagulation filter, disinfection), sludge treatment and disposal technologies.
