Digital Teaching
The course material and announcements for the lecture and the exercises are provided via Moodle. If it is not possible to offer face-to-face lectures, they will be offered digitally as live transmission and/or recording. The access data to transmission platforms will be communicated in the Moodle course.

The seminar covers theoretical and practical knowledge to enable the students to carry out mathematical simulations of wastewater treatment plants. The course introduces the fundamentals of mathematical modelling and modelling of the biochemical processes. We will implement simple models for carbon and nitrogen removal in different reactor types. Based on that the students will get hands on experience with software tools to simulated the complete wastewater treatment plant.

[b]Teaching goal:[/b]
The students have a deepened basic knowledge of the mathematical simulation of biochemical processes in simple reactor systems with the application to biological wastewater treatment (Software Tool, Aquasim). The students are able to model simple wastewater treatment plants in BioWin/Simba/Sumo and apply the software tool to solve problems. They can solve tasks from these areas independently. In addition to the well-founded basic knowledge, they have the ability to apply their knowledge to the assessment of different scenarios in wastewater treatment.
