Prerequisites: Physical-chemistry, biochemistry and process chemistry at master level or similar
Purpose : Mangagement and separation of wastewater from the food industry.
Learning objectives: Students who have completed the course
· Have knowledge about different types of separation technologies with focus on technologies relevant for the food industry.
· Have knowledge about different types of wastewater (e.g. from fishing industry).
· Can perform the necessary analysis to characterise wastewater and thereby determine the relevant parameters for designing separation processes.
· Can perform the necessary analysis to test the quality of treated wastewater
· Can discuss advantages and disadvantages of different separation methods , and can on the basis of the food characteristics chose the best separation method(s ).
· Can optimize separation processes in order to minimise water and energy consumption.
Know the state-of-the art in separation in the food industry.
Contents: Characterisation of wastewater (COD, BOD, specific compounds), physico-chemical characterisation (pH, ionic strength, charge, size), coagulation/flokkulation, membrane filtration (e.g. MF, UF, RO), centrifugation, flotation, stripning.
Examination: Based on the written report (15-20).
