Overview
About the course
In this Aerobic Granular Sludge Technology for Wastewater Treatment course at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) you will learn all about the history of and latest developments in the AGS technology, also known as Nereda technology. You will understand its underlying processes and learn how to implement AGS.
You will visit different AGS treatment plants through online excursions and share the experiences of operators, policy makers and innovators from water authorities using this technology. The course offers a basic design sheet for an AGS treatment plant.
Additionally, on our discussion forum, after comparing your preferred options –whether you want to be more cost-effective, improve energy efficiency or make environmental improvements to your wastewater treatment plant– you will be able to share your questions and your fellow participants and the course team will help you in your choices!
