Description |
Fundamentals and application of biological pathways of Waste Water Treatment plants: from microbial engineering to modelling. This module builds on the fundamentals of microbiology (Introduction to Biochemical Engineering) and chemical engineering (mass transfer) for the operation and design of biological (aerobic and anaerobic, fixed and suspended growth) plants. |
