Content

This course will be delivered for the first time in the winter semester 26/27 using the following teaching approach. The concept combines flipped classroom principles with research-based and problem-oriented learning to enable students, through engaging methods, formative assessments and real-world case studies (EU-KARL), to critically engage with wastewater management technologies – with the aim of developing practical skills for professional practice.
The general content will be based on the EU-KARL (Municipal Wastewater Directive) and the challenges it poses for the (Austrian) wastewater management sector.

The following topics will be addressed in relation to the EU-KARL initiative:
+ Integrated wastewater management plans
+ Urban stormwater management / blue-green infrastructure
+ Energy management and climate neutrality in the context of increasing requirements
+ Enhanced nutrient removal with a focus on innovative processes
+ Fourth treatment stage and extended producer responsibility
+ Circular economy: resource-oriented sanitation systems, sewage sludge as a resource and water reuse
Previous knowledge expected

Basic knowledge of urban waste water management (VU 811108 or LAWI100368)
Optional project PJ811311 or LAWI301078
