1 semester
- Brief description
Water and air purification and the decontamination of contaminated soils are among the key tasks of environmental technology. Different technical solutions are required based on the respective (planning) legal framework. The module provides an overview of the relevant biological, mechanical, chemical and thermal processes and their applicability to specific problems.
- Teaching and learning outcomes
1. limit values and requirements for water, air and soil
2. drinking water treatment processes
3. waste water treatment processes
4. air pollution control methods
5. methods of soil decontamination
6. laboratory exercises
- Overall workload
The total workload for the module is 150 hours (see also "ECTS credit points and grading").

- Remark on the assessment methods
The examiners choose the type of examination from the options provided and inform the students at the beginning of the semester.
There is either a 2-hour written exam or an oral exam. The choice of examination form will be announced at the beginning of the semester.
The experimental work relates to the practical part.
- Recommended prior knowledge
Basic understanding of mechanical and thermal processes
- Knowledge Broadening
The students extend their knowledge of the basic operations of EUV-T to specific processes of drinking water, wastewater and exhaust air treatment as well as soil decontamination.
- Knowledge deepening
Students describe and design the processes and plant technology for environmental engineering applications in detail. They can place the processes in the context of legal regulations.
- Knowledge Understanding
Students can select suitable procedures and evaluate them comparatively.
- Application and Transfer
Students develop solutions for specific environmental engineering problems. They evaluate the results of experimental laboratory tests in the context of the specialist literature.
- Communication and Cooperation
Students can compare different environmental engineering solutions, develop proposed solutions in teamwork and present these in a structured manner.
- Academic Self-Conception / Professionalism
Students combine various skills acquired during their studies and are able to assess and reflect on their own competencies.
