Grading scale
The grade requirements within the course grading system are set out in specific criteria. These criteria must be available by the course start at the latest.
Language
SwedishPrior knowledge
Knowledge equivalent to 120 HEC, including at least 70 credits in Technology, Soil Science or Geoscience. At least 15 HEC in Chemistry, 10 HEC in Biology, and 15 HEC in Soil Science or Geoscience must be included. Swedish and English skills equivalent to level B are requiredObjectives
The course aims at giving good knowledge on systems and technology for managing sanitation on-site sanitation systems and on how the resources in wastewater and sewage sludge can be utilized in a safe way.
On completion of the course the student should:
be able to describe different systems and technologies for managing sanitation on-site, for managing the handling of large scale wastewater sewage sludge, for usual goal criteria for these systems, be able to describe the microbiological and chemical processes involved and be able to describe for the different systems their properties concerning hygiene risk, environmental impact and possibility for utilization of resources, e.g. plant nutrients, water and energy.
be able to propose and dimension systems for on-site sanitation.
Content
On site wastewater systems, their construction, properties and how these systems enable the reuse of the plant nutrients and water content of the wastewater. The focus of the course is on systems common in Sweden, but also system important in low income countries will be included.
Systems included are nature like system (sand filters and soil infiltration), simple anaerobic systems, source separating sewage systems, surface and subsurface constructed wetlands, Both large and small scale processes for treating and sanitizing sewage sludge, faecal matter and urine are included. The requirements concerning concentration, pathogens, logistics etc. when plant nutrients and/or water are recycled to plant production are included in the course, as are the impacts of the system on resources and environment.
Main activities in the course are:
Scheduled activities: lectures, study visit (compulsory), examination and evaluation, supervised training (compulsory).
Individual studies, not scheduled: written exercises, literature studies.
Grading form
The grade requirements within the course grading system are set out in specific criteria. These criteria must be available by the course start at the latest.Formats and requirements for examination
Passed exams, passed assignments and active attendance at the compulsory parts of the course.
If a student has failed an examination, the examiner has the right to issue supplementary assignments. This applies if it is possible and there are grounds to do so.
The examiner can provide an adapted assessment to students entitled to study support for students with disabilities following a decision by the university. Examiners may also issue an adapted examination or provide an alternative way for the students to take the exam.
If this syllabus is withdrawn, SLU may introduce transitional provisions for examining students admitted based on this syllabus and who have not yet passed the course.
For the assessment of an independent project (degree project), the examiner may also allow a student to add supplemental information after the deadline for submission. Read more in the Education Planning and Administration Handbook.
Other information
The right to participate in teaching and/or supervision only applies for the course instance the student was admitted to and registered on.
If there are special reasons, students are entitled to participate in components with compulsory attendance when the course is given again. Read more in the Education Planning and Administration Handbook.
Additional information
This course overlaps partly with the course "Safe nutrient recycling". If this course is included in the study plan of a student, then the total credits from the courses will be deducted with the overlap.Responsible department
