OnlineAnaerobic wastewater treatment is one of the most energy-efficient technologies for treating wastewater. With minimal energy requirements and the conversion of organic pollutants into renewable energy-rich biogas, there’s a double energy gain – a serious benefit both for now and in the future.
In this course you will learn about this state-of-the-art technology from anaerobic experts. You will also develop your skills in anaerobic reactor design and operation to better handle the current environmental challenges and global energy crisis.
After taking this course, you will not only understand the potentials of the system but also how to make process designs, evaluate anaerobic treatment processes, and operate high-rate anaerobic reactors efficiently.
This Group aims to enhance the design, operation, and economics of large wastewater treatment plants, fostering knowledge exchange for improved sanitation, reduced resource consumption, and resource recovery. Key concerns include plant design, operation, reuse options, energy efficiency, optimization, sludge management, and meeting new effluent requirements. Transformative developments such as aerobic granular sludge and micropollutant elimination via PAC/ozone are focal points. The group hosts specialized conferences every four years, rotating between Vienna, Budapest, and Prague, providing a platform for researchers and practitioners to discuss advancements and promote the successful implementation of research findings in wastewater treatment.
