Content

Laboratory and experimental techniques for the assessment of water and wastewater processes are introduced and executed: Sludge characterization, Sedimentation, coagulation and floculation, adsorption, absorption, disinfection, respirometry, algal growth, biomethane potential. Reporting and data analysis.

Learning outcome

Theoretical understanding and skills necessary for conducting experimental methods and technical assessments of unit operations aimed at process design and operation for water and solid waste treatment. Students are able to perform experimental tests of water and sludge quality and execute tests for design and operation of unit processes. Students will gain spesialist competences, including terminology ands mechanistic understanding, use of equipment and standardized methodologies, practical and theoretical analysis for design and operations. Laboratory skills will be developed. In addition, students will learn how to structure and formulate technical reports based on their exercises and findings.

Forkunnskapskrav

Exam

Form of assessment Weight Duration Marks Aid
Labreport A 1/2 1 Weeks Letter grades All
Labreport B 1/2 1 Weeks Letter grades All


The last two lab reports are graded and form the basis for the student's final grade in the course.

Resit options are not offered on the last two lab reports. Students who do not pass the last two reports can redo them the next time the course is lectured.

Vilkår for å gå opp til eksamen/vurdering

Labreports

There are a total of nine lab exercises with associated reports that must be completed and submitted in groups in the course.

From the first seven lab exercises/reports, students must pass at least 5 reports to gain access to the last two exercises/reports, which give a grade in the course.

Lab exercises are compulsory and valid absence is required to be allowed not to participate in a maximum of two exercises.

Note: The excursions are part of the lab activties and are strongly recommended, but not obligatory.

Emneevaluering

There must be an early dialogue between the course supervisor, the student union representative and the students. The purpose is feedback from the students for changes and adjustments in the course for the current semester.In addition, a digital course evaluation must be carried out at least every three years. Its purpose is to gather the students experiences with the course.
