INGLESE

Fundamentals of hydraulics and hydraulic construction; fundamentals of sanitary and environmental engineering

Classroom lectures for 72 hours:
- 50 theory
- 22 exercizes
- Technical visits to full scale wastewater and waste treatment plants might be provided

Water utilities and industries can become engines for the circular economy, whenever they are supported by innovative wastewater
engineers. In this context, the course enables students to design biological conventional and advanced operation units, processes and
plants to treat and/or valorize resources from urban or industrial wastewater and sewage sludge. This knowledge will allow to develop
scientific approach to complex and interdisciplinary engineering problems with specific reference to the plant design aspects.

The student will acquire knowledge of the technological productive processes for the treatment and valorisation of municipal and industrial wastewaters. The problem of the conventional or advanced treatments will be developed in order to learn the phases of design. The use of specific and commercial software for the solution of applied problems will allow comparable approach to that commonly used in the labour market.

The approach to the design of environmental engineering structures and chemical plants will increase the degree both of independence in terms of critical choices during the design phase and of the learning capacity in the analysis and in the definition of the project data.

• Legislation and environmental technical regulations, with specific additional reference to the design
• Wastewater Treatment: Biological Process Engineering and Resource Recovery
• Fundamentals
• Chemical-Environmental Plants for the removal ore recovery of carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus
• Membrane bioreactors
• Sewage sludge and/or organic waste treatment plants
• Use of simulation tools (ASIM 5.0 and Biowin) for the process design
• Design examples with innovative and circular processes
• Drinking water treatment plants: Process basic design
• Resource recovery from wastewater and organic waste
• Industrial wastewater treatment and valorization
• Optional: Technical visit to wastewater treatment plants and/or liquid or solid waste treatment in Emilia-Romagna, Trentino-Alto Adige, Veneto and/or Lombardia
- Guided visit and participation at leading exhibitions and conferences such as ECOMONDO

The evaluation will be based on an oral examination when both theoretical and calculation questions will be asked about the topics thaught during the lectures

o successfully pass the evaluation of learning, the student must demonstrate the understanding of the concepts presented in class and the acqusition of the theoretical principles, design and application of biological processes and sludge treatment methods.

During the examinations will be evaluated the understanding of the theoretical and experimental principles of the treated topics and the ability to properly use the design principles of processes units and technologies

The final mark is attributed with minimum grade of 18/30 associated with complete knowledge of the course topics. Additional points up to 30/30 will be awarded based on the general and specific skills. The evaluation "cum laude" will be given to students with high outstanding and critical exposition of the arguments.
