The course is divided into two separate sections, the systems that transport the household sewage, industrial wastewater and rainwater from residential and industrial areas to a centralized treatment; and the wastewater treatment after reaching the Wastewater Treatment Plant.
The course aims to understand basic concepts related to the quantitative and qualitative characterization of wastewater, the calculation of basic parameters for the design of typical wastewater and rainwater drainage networks, and the design of infrastructure system components such as manholes, pumping stations, etc.
The second part of the course is about learning the individual stages of the sewage treatment plant: Pre-treatment stage - primary and secondary treatment: sedimentation tanks, sludge treatment systems, ventilation systems, final sedimentation tanks - tertiary treatment and sludge treatment. Sewer network analysis and design.
Quantitative and qualitative characterization of wastewater. Design of sewage treatment plants - Individual plant layout, hydraulic calculations, and technological options. Preliminary treatment. Primary treatment, active sludge systems. Ventilation systems. Final sedimentation tanks. Tertiary sewage treatment, sludge treatment and biogas recovery. Analysis and design of drainage networks. Typical sewage and rainwater drainage networks: calculation benefits, general layout, hydraulic calculations, pipeline technology, quality issues.
