Objectives of Programme's Learning Outcomes
Learning Outcomes of UE
The aim of the wastewater treatment course is to broadly present all issues related to water pollution and technological solutions available to reduce or eliminate it, paying particular attention to the recovery or treatment of the final sludge and economical aspects. At the end of this course, students should be able to: • Qualify and identify aqueous pollution following the origins of the wastewater; • Interpret analysis reports based sanitation standards; • Describe treatment techniques of urban and industrial wastewater (pre-treatment, biological, chemical and physical treatments); • Size some traditional works such as primary settling tanks, activated sludge bioreactors based on existing models; • Understand new treatment technologies specifically for industrial pollution; • Manage or treat waste from these treatments.
Content of UE
The wastewater treatment course is introduced by a part describing the different interactions between water, soil and air, the concepts of water quality, biotic index and discharge standards depending on the type of water (urban, industrial), and the effects of water pollution on aquatic ecosystems. This part is illustrated by specific examples of aqueous pollution: nutrients, pesticides, PAHs, and metal ions (Hg, As, etc.) The main methods of analysis and characterisation of wastewater are presented. The treatment part is divided into two main sections: the urban water treatment (mainly biologically) and treatment of industrial wastewater. For urban water, primary traditional treatments (mechanical, physical and chemical), secondary (biological / chemical) and tertiary (elimination of refractory carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus) are explained, as well as some examples of sizing works for given pollution treatments. For industrial water, an operations panel is taught and specific applications are considered (petrochemical industries, surface treatment, etc.). A final part is devoted to the treatment and recovery of sludge. There will also be some studies of industrial wastewater treatment (treatment of waste water in textile, chemical, surface treatment, etc.).
Prior Experience

Type of Assessment for UE in Q1
Q1 UE Assessment Comments
Other: laboratory and reports. The assessment is based on the following aspects: Laboratory work: quality of laboratory work, reports (considered work of the year and work carried over): 20% of the mark. An oral examination, 80% of the mark based on the presentation of +/- 10 pages of personal work outlining a type of treatment of wastewater on the basis of specific articles, presentations and discussions.
Type of Assessment for UE in Q3
Q3 UE Assessment Comments
Other: laboratory and reports. The assessment is based on the following aspects: Laboratory work: quality of laboratory work, reports (considered work of the year and work carried over): 20% of the mark. An oral examination, 80% of the mark based on the presentation of +/- 10 pages of personal work outlining a type of treatment of wastewater on the basis of specific articles, presentations and discussions.
