Learning Goals
Participants will work towards improving the management of biogas plants in WWTPs under locally adapted technological conditions for gas production and utilisation.
MODULE A:
Components of a WWTP energy systems and energy balancing
- Participants explain the status and potential for improvement of their own WWTP within the energy system of biogas production and utilisation
MODULE B:
Process engineering of anaerobic digestion
- Participants describe the core processes and key components of biogas production. They discuss operating strategies and troubleshooting methods for sewage sludge digestion
MODULE C:
Hazardous gases and EX zones, gas warning devices and national regulations
- Participants deal with risks in explosion protection zones and when handling hazardous gases in sewage treatment plants. They gain routine in risk assessment and in taking precautions in theory and practice
MODULE D:
Quality management of biogas, storage and optimisation of CHP operation
- Participants describe the core processes, key components and analysis methods of the energy utilisation system in WWTPs. They understand their scope for action in operating the WWTP energy cycle and identify optimisation measures, taking gas quality criteria into account
