Treatment Installations

Knowledge of effluent treatment obtained at the undergraduate level

In the theoretical-practical classes we use the expository and inquisitive method during the explanation of
theoretical issues and proceed to the resolution of practical exercises depicting real situations of design of
wastewater treatment systems. In class tutorial exercises are held.
A final exam (FE) is performed, which consists of a theoretical part (10 points) and a practical part (10 points);
The approval requires that the mark EF is greater than or equal to 10 points;

The aim of the course is to convey to the students complementary expertise in relation to the one
acquired at the bachelor degree level, in the field of wastewater treatment, in order to: 1) build capacity to
design small and medium sized wastewater treatment systems, 2) build capacity for the operation of small,
medium and large wastewater treatment systems, 3) provide bases for further studies at a higher level in the
field of wastewater treatment.
