On Monday, November 20th our university welcomed students of the international study program ATHENS. The Faculty of Environmental Technology and the Faculty of Chemical Engineering regularly offer courses in Environmental Technology, and Digital Signal and Image Processing with Applications.
More information on our CTU university website.
On October 19, employees and former students of our department took part in an excursion to the wastewater treatment plant in Vienna, which is designed for 4 million EOs and occupies an area of 460,000 m2. The excursion was organized by the expert group Sludge and Waste CzWA, and out of the total number of 22 participants, 16 were graduates from our department (4 of them are current employees).
The history of wastewater disposal in Vienna dates back to 100 AD when Roman soldiers built the first network of canals. The sewage system dealt with the discharge of wastewater into waterways until the Second World War. In December 1951, the first wastewater treatment plant was put into operation, which served until 1980, when the foundation stone of the main Vienna treatment plant was laid. This was intensified in the following decades, in 2005 a device for more effective removal of nutrients was launched here and a second stage of biological purification was built. On April 13, 2015, the foundation stone of the E_OS – Energie_Optimierung Sludge Treatment project was laid. It was launched on June 4, 2020, and since then the treatment plant has been completely energy-self-sufficient. Its operation requires approximately 64 GWh annually, which represents 1% of the electricity consumption of the whole of Vienna. Six new anaerobic digesters, each with a capacity of 12,500 m3, produce biogas, which is the source of the annual production of 78 GWh of electricity and 82 GWh of thermal energy.
We would like to thank DI Dr. Gerald Wandle.
"Veolia Summer school was a great experience, which I would definitely recommend to any student who is interested in deepening their knowledge and skills. During that week, I got to know smart students, with whom we are still in contact after the project. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of it."
This year, there were 60 students, from 26 countries and 59 universities. And 25 speakers and 13 experts from Veolia. During those 5 days, the students met many of our colleagues, discovered inspiring career paths, discussed with fellow students from all around the world, and worked on our business cases, in order to better understand ecological transformation and its challenges.
The linked short video will give you an insight of what it has been done and what your students have accomplished. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ThOONC1BCpw
On Wednesday, May 27, Vojtech Kouba successfully defended his Ph.D. thesis "Nitrogen removal from anaerobic pre-treated urban wastewater using modern biological processes". Vojta measured his thesis under the supervision of Jan Bartacek.
It was a first partially on-linePh.D. defense.
Congratulations!!!
