Competences: Competences: Understands the need to know the capabilities and continuous training (studies II and III degree, postgraduate courses) - raising professional competence, personal and social. Is aware of the importance, responsibility and consequences of engineering activities towards renewable energy sources and waste management in terms of responsibility for the quality of life for people and the environment.

Prerequisites: Physics, Chemistry

Course content: In the course processes and management options for the treatment of municipal waste water treatement sludge will be explained. Subjects will be sludge generation, chemical and physical properties as well as mass balances of various treatment options. The mechanisms and characteristics of the technological processes of thickening, stabilisation (chemical, physical and biological), dewatering (natural and mechanical), drying as well as land application and landfilling of sludges will be discussed.
