Course A: Solid Waste Management
We provide the participants
with a reference frame for defining critical problems of
solid waste and landfill management and define useful methods
of analysis for current problems. Many landfills have turned to be modern
landfills by Mechanical and Biological Treatment (MBT)
techniques, which lead to a significant reduced landfill
pollution potential for soil, and ground water.
Course B: Waste Water Management
We provide the participants
with waste water treatment and management with information on actual
problems and technologies. It presents the sanitary technology used
in the western countries which can be characterized as 'flush and
discharge' technologies with mechanical-biological Wastewater
Treatment Plant (WWTPs) at 'the end of the pipe'. The course will illustrate the problems and disadvantages
of the conventional waste water systems (such as: high energy demand,
large amounts of drinking water for flushing, loss of nutrients etc.)
which are identified for many years now.
Course C: Energy from Waste and Waste Water
We provide the participants new solutions for dealing with waste
recycling in urban area (urban mining), an interesting environmental
solution in using landfills and settlement as mines and by this
cleaning up polluted landfill sites. Landfills and waste water can
also be used as a source of energy. Recycling systems to produce
materials or energy from waste products have now become well
established in Europe. In some case, that means materials recycling,
while in other cases that means energy recovery. For recycling
organic wastes in landfill, organic wastes can be converted into
biogas, ethanol or methanol which can be used to generate electricity
and biodiesel.
