COURSE DESCRIPTION

Course Objectives

This course aims to give systematic informations about waste sludge production and treatment technologies to the students. Waste sludge is produced from biological and chemical wastewater/sewage treatment plant, and is one of the key process to be handled economically and efficiently. Furthermore waste sludge is an useful bio-materials that can be recycled and make new material and economic profit.
