Upon successful completion of this course, students will have a comprehensive understanding of core environmental biotechnological processes, including biogas production, drinking water treatment, aerobic and anaerobic treatment, and composting. They will be familiar with the diversity of microorganisms and the dynamics of mixed cultures, and understand how microbial behavior and metabolic activities (e.g., biofilm formation, corrosion, floc formation) influence biotechnological processes. Students will be able to analyze and evaluate existing sustainable technologies and design new approaches based on fundamental interdisciplinary knowledge.
