Intended learning outcomes
The curricular unit (CU) of Water and Wastewater Treatment Systems aims to give students knowledge concerning:
- qualitative characterization and optimal selection of natural water reserves;
- operations and processes units applied in drinking water and wastewater treatments;
- design, operation and maintenance of water treatment plants (WTP) and wastewater treatment plants (WWTP);
- treatment/valorisation and final disposal of screenings, oils and grease, grits and sludge.
After approval in CU the students should be able: to characterize and select water sources, to conceptualise and evaluate studies to support the design, operation and maintenance of WTP and WWTP; to assess the operations and processes units application on water and wastewater treatment; select and apply the treatments and final disposal of by-products according with environmental legislation.
