2. Pre-Requisites
Those established in general for the Degree
3. Justification in the curriculum, relation to other subjects and to the profession
This subject is taught in the fourth year of the Degree and consists of a single subject that will be taught in the first semester. The student who has access to this subject has a great background in Chemical and Environmental Engineering and only needs to make their knowledge more practical. In this sense, the objective with which it is proposed is to provide the chemical engineer in training with the necessary knowledge to understand the operation of urban wastewater treatment plants, drinking water treatment stations, water regeneration stations and industrial water treatment and conditioning plants. It also aims to teach how to design these operations, showing water characterization techniques, and the simplified design algorithms that are most commonly used in practice.
