| Educational objectives | Dublin 1. The main knowledge and understanding will concern: the processes of environmental pollution; the characteristics of urban waste water and first rain water; the main ideal reactors; physical, biological, bio-chemical purification processes; the main plant schemes for urban waste water treatment. Dublin 2 and 3. The ability to independently apply the skills acquired will concern: the calculation of the main design parameters of primary and secondary sedimentation tanks, sand traps, aerobic and anaerobic biological compartments; the choice of disinfection techniques for purified water; the choice for thickening, conditioning, dehydration and sludge disposal. Dublin 4. Interaction in the classroom on learning topics will allow you to acquire an appropriate language to communicate and exhibit the topics covered Dublin 5. The topics dealt with will be presented critically, leaving the possibility open to further study with references to scientific literature in the sector. |

| Other information | The Sanitary Engineering Environmental module is co-ordinated and preparatory with the Module for Technical Facilities for Waste Treatment. The assessment of acquired skills is carried out at two different times after class of each module. Statistical data on student exam results: Students sample: 80; Average grade: 27.07/30; Standard Deviation 1.50/30 Percentage of students who obtained an exam mark included in the range 18 - 21: 2.5 % 21 - 24: 6.3 % 24 - 27: 38.8 % 27 - 30: 52.4 % The schedule of the exams is available at the following link: http://www.ing1.unipg.it/didattica/studiare/calendario-esami The teaching materials provided by the teachers is available in https://www.unistudium.unipg.it/unistudium/ Notes: The course is divided into two coordinated modules: i) Sanitary Engineering Environmental ii) Technical Facilities for Waste Treatment. The assessment of acquired skills is provided at two different times after class of each module Reception hours: Wednesday, 15:30 - 17:30. Venue: Office of Prof. Manciola Piergiorgio, Water Engineering Section, Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Via G. Duranti, 93 Perugia (tel +393356209101).

| Learning verification modality | The verification of the training objectives provides for a test for each of the two modules of the course (Sanitary Engineering and Biotechnological Waste Treatment). For both modules, the test consists of two oral tests which, for logistical needs, can be carried out separately. The oral tests, lasting about 45 minutes, consist of the illustration of the case studies developed during the course and a dialogue aimed at ascertaining: - knowledge of the theoretical-methodological contents of the course - knowledge of the models adopted to simulate the different physico-chemical processes on which the purification of water and solid waste is based; - knowledge of plant engineering solutions for the removal of pollutants from waste water, for the stabilization of sludge and for the disposal of solid waste; - the competence in applying the proposed computational procedures; - the autonomy of judgment in evaluating the various design strategies; The oral tests also aim to verify the student's ability to present the topics proposed by the Commission with language properties, to support a dialectical relationship during the discussion and to summarize the application results of the calculation procedures studied. The final evaluation will be carried out by the Commission out of thirty, mediating the results of each test. |

| Educational objectives | The course aims to introduce concepts relative to biomass-waste recycling for green chemistry promoting the circular economy and the end of waste. The course will introduce the drivers to the bioeconomy. Energy vs. food conflict, biomass production limits and other social themes will be implemented to place the bioeconomy in the new world focused on the Circular Economy. Scientific and technical aspect related to the biomass origin, production, characteristics will become part of the knowledge to address the biorefinery concept to produce biofules, bioenergy and biochemical. |
