Learning Outcomes of UE

This environment and water treatment course will allow students to: - Understand the impact of human activity on the environment; - Describe the main sources of pollution; - Interpret waste water analysis reports based sanitation standards; - Describe the techniques of collective and individual treatment of urban wastewater; - Implement processes or technologies that reduce environmental impacts as part of their project.

Content of UE

The course content is organised into two parts. The first is based on the description of ecosystems, aqueous and gaseous pollution, impacts of human activities on the environment and on ecosystems. The second part is dedicated to the study of the properties of natural water and aqueous pollution, environmental legislation in the field of urban wastewater. The individual and collective treatment of water for drinking and sanitation are discussed: primary (mechanical and physico-chemical), secondary (biological / chemical) and tertiary treatment (elimination of nitrogen and phosphorus), treatment of sludge, and individual purification stations.
