(Prüfungsordnungsmodul: Environmental Biotechnology)

Lehrveranstaltungen:

• • Environmental Biotechnology (Lecture)
    (Vorlesung, Roman Breiter, FAU Busan only)
  • Environmental Biotechnology (Class)
    (Übung, Roman Breiter, FAU Busan only)

Empfohlene Voraussetzungen:

• Basic knowledge of aquatic chemistry

• Basic knowledge of micro biology

Inhalt:

• material flows in biotechnological processes of purification of water, soil and air

• substrate degradation and growth (trophy levels, energy production, cell synthesis, sludge age, endogene degradation, mass balances)

• Composition of waste water (chemical composition of particles and solved materials, parameters for waste water cleaning)

• legislative background (water ecology act, waste water articles, direct and indirect feed, limitation values)

• mechanical preparation of waste water (sieves, sand filter, clarifier)

• Procedures in natural and in aerated pond systems (physically and biologically aeration, natural biological processes in water and sediment)

• Land treatment and land application (sewage farm, infiltrations, melioration)

• contructed wetland, free wetland systems FWS, vertical submerged beds VSB (design, purification principles)

• waste water treatment with suspended biomass (tower biology, bio high reactor, activated sludge processes, remaining times)

• waste water treatment with sessil biomass (rotating biological contactor RBC, membrane biological processes, trickling filter)

• nitrogen elimination, nitrification, denitrification, n-species and aeration

• phosphate elimination (chemical processes, enhanced biological phosphate removal processes EBPR, A/O-processes and phostrip process)

• hygienisation (legislative demands, human pathogene organisms and viruses, CT-concept, ozonisation and UV-treatment)

• anaerobe processes of sludge and waste water treatment

• soil and ground water remediation (legal framework, natural attenuation, pump-and-treat processes)
  

Lernziele und Kompetenzen:

The students

• will learn the identification of material flows in environmental protection according to the basic principle of decontamination and purification, where only untoxic products and inert, untoxic remains are allowed as a result - besides the purified environmental media soil, water and air.

• will experience the context between the further development of technological environmental plants and legislative acts.

• will be able to use basics of substrate degradation, biomass growth and the availability of terminal electron acceptors for biological processes in natural and aquatic systems and

• can optimise and intensify these natural processes in an engineering way for waste water treatment and ground water remediation.

• will learn basics of C-, N- and P-elimination and will use them for complex systems with mineral and organic solids as well as for solved substrates in aquatic systems.

• will derive variants of processes with changed limiting conditions (freights, concentrations, composition, aeration).

• will transfer knowledge of processes in biofilm (diffusion, substrate degradation, limitations) to processes with typical natural conditions for waste water treatment (mixing populations, zones of different electron acceptors, macro fauna).

• will experience the basics of anaerobe contaminants in biocenosis and will combinate them with the design of anaerobe treatment plants for sludge and waste water.

• will learn current developments of remediation of soil and ground water according to projects proceeded at the institute.
