Overview
This High-rate Anaerobic Wastewater Treatment course at Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) will deepen your knowledge of anaerobic wastewater treatment and provides valuable background information for anybody interested in the field.
Students, new professionals in the sector, academics, consultants, end-users from various industries will benefit from the course. You will not only learn about the potential of the system but also how to make a diagnosis when the treatment efficiency is lower than expected.
Outcomes
After taking this course you will be able to:
- Calculate the energy benefits of applying high-rate anaerobic treatment compared with conventional activated sludge systems
- Dimension anaerobic reactors (UASB/EGSB) for industrial wastewater treatment and judge the merits of novel systems
- Start-up UASB reactors with low grade seed material
- Perform a diagnostic analysis on malfunctioning anaerobic reactors
- Control and monitor anaerobic reactors using the COD mass balance
Programme Structure
Syllabus:- The principles of anaerobic high-rate technology using the COD mass balance to calculate biogas/energy production from a given wastewater. Anaerobic microbiology principles.
- Environmental factors affecting anaerobic treatment: suspended solids, pH, temperature, nutrient availability, toxicity, presence of oxygenated anions (such as sulfate), etc.
- Basics of high-rate reactor technology: how to uncouple hydraulic retention time from solids retention time. Basic design of UASB reactors, and starting-up reactors.
- Case study examples of full-scale reactor systems: Paques B.V and Biothane-Veolia. Examples of common anaerobic high-rate reactor applications. Overview of novel high-rate anaerobic reactor systems developed from lab-scale to full-scale.
- Characterization of wastewater and methanogenic sludge. Set-up of lab assays for diagnostic research.
