Advanced Topics

This program explores cutting-edge pollution treatment technologies with a special focus on innovative approaches. Students gain in-depth knowledge of advanced membrane processes for water purification, including reverse osmosis and nanofiltration techniques. Intensive biological reactor modeling represents another key component, covering membrane bioreactors and activated sludge systems.

The curriculum also examines modern methods for gaseous effluent treatment, particularly catalytic processes and high-performance biofilters. A significant portion addresses waste-to-energy conversion through pyrolysis and gasification technologies. Circular economy principles are integrated through industrial water recycling and secondary raw material recovery processes.

Digital technologies play an increasingly important role, incorporating digital twins for treatment plant optimization and AI applications for process control. Students also learn life cycle assessment methods for eco-designing industrial processes.

The program completes this overview of advanced environmental technologies with innovative soil remediation techniques, including electrokinetic and phytoremediation methods. These courses leverage unique experimental platforms, enabling students to master both theoretical and operational aspects of these technologies.
