Educational Goals

The objective of the course is to provide the competencies for the appropriate design and realisation of technologies and methodologies related to drinking water, wastewater and solid waste treatment and management, related to resource-limited countries.

Content

The course deals with the 3 following issues:
1. Appropriate methodologies and techniques for drinking water treatment management
2. Appropriate methodologies and techniques for wastewater treatment and management
3. Appropriate methodologies and techniques for solid waste treatment and management

Extended Syllabus

Appropriate techniques for drinking water treatment. Appropriate technologies for the removal of specific contaminants: arsenic, fluorides, ammonia, nitrates, organic compounds, etc.. Appropriate methodologies for drinking water management along the supply chain (transport/distribution, storage and handling).

2. Appropriate methodologies and techniques for wastewater treatment and management
Overview on the quality and quantity of wastewater in resource-limited countries. Appropriate methodologies and techniques related to the treatment and storage of wastewater: on-site and off-site solutions. Traditional latrines, ventilated latrines, septic tanks, Imhoff tanks, ponds, fitodepuration: theoretical aspects, applications and design criteria.

3. Appropriate methodologies and techniques for solid waste treatment and management
Overview on the quality and quantity of solid waste in resource-limited countries. Appropriate methodologies and techniques for the collection, transport, treatment and final disposal of solid waste: composting plant for organic matter, plastic and can recovery, final disposal in landfills.
