7 week short course description

The introduction of the aerobic granular sludge (AGS) process represents a significant and evolutionary step in wastewater treatment technology.

AGS deploys the treatment characteristics of granular biomass in highly automated sequencing batch reactors. This results in reductions in land footprint, costs, electricity, sludge production, chemical consumption and delivers improved environmental compliance and robustness compared with established wastewater treatment technologies.

In this course provided by the Delft University of Technology (TU Delft) you will learn all about the history of and latest developments in the AGS technology, also known as Nereda technology. You will understand its underlying processes and learn how to implement AGS.

Course starts on 02 Oct 2024.

Course length: 7 weeks. Estimated effort: 4-6 hours per week

By the end of this course you will be able to:

  • explain the basics of aerobic granular sludge (AGS) technology
  • describe the differences between activated sludge and AGS
  • explain the microbial conversions in AGS
  • calculate conversion rates of aerobic granular sludge processes and the dimensions of aerobic granular sludge reactors
  • explain and design process control strategies for AGS processes
  • decide on the advantages and disadvantages of the technology in your own situation
  • create a simple design of an AGS wastewater treatment plant

This course is accredited by the Chartered Institution of Water and Environmental Management and attendance will contribute toward your continuing professional development (CPD).

  • Merle de Kreuk is professor Environmental Technology and Head of the Department Water Management at Delft University of Technology. Her research focus is on (municipal and industrial) wastewater treatment systems and anaerobic processes, aiming to link the world of Biotechnology to the Civil Engineering, as well as fundamental research to industrial applications.Her previous work experience also involved the position of water treatment technology innovator at Water authority Hollandse Delta on projects such as the Energy Factory in which 14 water authorities cooperated to develop an energy producing sewage treatment plant.
  • Mark van Loosdrecht is professor of Environmental Biotechnology in the Biotechnology Department of the Delft University of Technology. His research focus is on Microbial Ecology and how it can be used in the design of new processes for wastewater treatment and waste-to-product processes.He is the driving force behind the success of the aerobic granular sludge technology.
  • Edward van Dijk the scientific experiments to practice and vice versa in order to further expand the aerobic granular sludge technology. He has great experience in the design and operation of full scale aerobic granular sludge treatment plants all over the world and works within the team of RHDHV engineers.Edward is combining his current position as project manager research and development Nereda with a PhD research at Delft University of Technology. His research is about full scale application of aerobic granular sludge in communal waste water.
