Deze cursusinformatie is bedoeld om de student te ondersteunen bij het verwerken van de leerstof
1. Aanvangscompetenties
Bij aanvang van dit opleidingsonderdeel dient de student over de volgende competenties te beschikken:
Actieve beheersing van :Passieve beheersing van :- Een algemene kennis van het gebruik van een PC en het internet
Specifieke aanvangscompetenties voor dit opleidingonderdeel:
Basic understanding of processes in waste water treatment, river water quality and hydrology, engineering skills.
2. Eindcompetenties
Familiarise the student with several modelling aspects one is confronted with in a river basin management framework. The integrated approach demonstrates the interdependencies between the different subsystems which allows the student to think in river basin scale including all its aspects.
3. Inhoud
Complementary to courses in other programmes (e.g., IUPWARE) that focus on water quantity, this course focuses on integrating models for evaluating technology for a better water quality.
Theoretical part: 3 days
- Session 1: WWTP modelling (responsible: Ingmar Nopens): 1 day. Different aspects of WWTP modelling will be highlighted. This includes: (1) a description of popular models for biological processes, settling tanks, anaerobic digesters, MBRs,…; (2) influent characterisation and (3) measuring/evaluating plant performance and (4) a basic introduction to control.
- Session 2: Hydrological modelling (responsible: Valentijn Pauwels): 1 day. The most important hydrologic processes will be described, as well as the combination of these processes into hydrologic models. Further, an overview of the most common problems (and solutions) in the application of hydrologic models will be given.
- Session 3: River water quality modelling (responsible: Piet Seuntjens): 1 day. This session will describe how water quality models integrate river processes, i.e., hydrology, chemical transport, biological and chemical transformations, inclusion of point and diffuse sources. In the session, examples will be given of various models that simulate water quality at different levels of complexity and scale. Short attention will be paid to tools that are used or preferred by national authorities and the EU commission to built water management plans and perform impact calculations of measures on receiving water bodies, to comply with the WFD.
Practical part: integrative modelling: 2 days
River 21-case in West®: WWTP and river water quality modelling. Exercise with hands-on application of integration of aspects of WWTP and river water quality modelling, demonstrating the impact of a certain technology on the water quality of a single river stretch.
