Sewer Processes - Modeling of sewer microbial and chemical processes

Description: The course provides a basis for up-to-date knowledge and modeling of sewer microbial and chemical processes and shows how this understanding can be applied for design, operation, and maintenance of wastewater collection systems. A central focus of the course is on predicting critical impacts and controlling adverse effects of hydrogen sulfide and other toxic/noxious gases.

The course:

·       Present new modeling tools for the design and operation of sewer networks

·       Establishes sewer processes as a key element in preserving water quality

·       Details the WATS sewer process model

·       Highlights the importance of aerobic, anoxic, and anaerobic processes

The course will introduce experimental methods to quantify wastewater quality in terms of biodegradability and chemical composition. During the course, the participants will get hands-on experience with setting up numerical sewer processes models and with determination of central model parameters.

Important information concerning PhD courses:

We have over some time experienced problems with no-show for both project and general courses. It has now reached a point where we are forced to take action. Therefore, the Doctoral School has decided to introduce a no-show fee of DKK 3.000 for each course where the student does not show up. Cancellations are accepted no later than 2 weeks before start of the course. Registered illness is of course an acceptable reason for not showing up on those days. Furthermore, all courses open for registration approximately four months before start. This can hopefully also provide new students a chance to register for courses during the year. We look forward to your registrations.
