Provide insight into the methods and techniques to use in water and wastewater treatment. To develop decision support capabilities in the scope of the assessment, design, construction, operation and maintenance of drinking water and wastewater treatment systems.
To allow the development of a scientific and technological understanding of the treatment processes of drinking water and wastewater.
Having successfully completed the module, the student should be able to: Know how drinking water and wasterwater treatment plants operate; Simple design equations for water and wastewater treatment plant; Select the correct series of unit processes for a particular water and wastewater type; Adapt and use in the correct context design equations for the design and operation of wastewater treatment plant; Critically analyse problems that may arise in the operation of water and wastewater treatment plant; Formulate approaches to treat water and wastewater in the most cost effective manner; Formulate approches for the management of residuals from water and wastewater treatment operations.
Theoretical lessons: Approach of themes will be covered in lectures supported by audiovisual media (video projection and slides) and a classroom whiteboard. Some lessons are previously recorded on a web platform (e-learning). Specific topics may be supplemented with guest speakers.
if classes cannot be performed presencially, they will be done by live broadcast in the same predicted timetable. Full class recordings will be available for missed classes or revision.
Practical lessons: Focus on experimental work in ICBAS laboratories. Visits to water and wastewater treatment stations. Solving of design, planning and management problems (homework); Synchronous work sessions about the projects.
Note: Additional support outside the classroom, using the SIGARRA and MOODLE platform from University of Porto, providing static or dynamic information, for self-study and self-assessment.

With 3/4 attendance in all classes
A - Exam grade: 30%; B - Creative homework (seminar/project): 30%; C - Oral presentation of the creative homework: 10%; D - Continuous evaluation: 30%
Final score: A x 0.70 + B x 0.15 + C x 0.10 + D x 0.05. Minimum score to be achieved in the examination: 8.0 This criterion applies both to the normal and make-up exams.
Note: Exam (covers all themes lectures from the first to last class: combination of multiple choice, true or false, short answer and short-essay questions covering the all course and is closed-book, closed-notes). Failure to perform the creative homework imply the assignment of zero values to these elements of evaluation.
