Biotechnology for Wastewater Management

Catalog description

Study of biologically catalyzed chemical transformations in engineered systems. Presentation of microbiology, biologically important oxidation-reduction reactions, bioenergetic principles, kinetics and toxicity considerations relating to wastewater treatment and nutrient management. Aerobic processes for biochemical oxygen demand reduction and ammonia oxidation, anoxic processes for denitrification as well as processes for anammox and nitritation/denitritation reactions. Anaerobic processes for biomethane and renewable energy production.
