By actively participating in all the activities proposed in this week, you will be able to:

  • Recognize the major energy consuming unit operations in treating wastewater
  • Describe how new concepts and innovative technologies can lead to energy neutral or even to net energy producing plants
  • Describe how to minimize the energy consumption in existing wastewater treatment plants
  • Indicate the current technologies to recover energy
  • Use techniques to recover energy and produce biofuels such as bio-hydrogen and bio-methane by using the chemical energy in the wastewater
