Course description

The objective of this subject is the acquisition by the student of the theoretical foundations and principles of biological processes that are applied in the field of Environmental Engineering. For this, the engineering of reactors and their application to the specific case of bioreactors are studied in depth. The structure and different metabolic types of microorganisms of general interest for Environmental Engineering are detailed. The laws of microbial growth are applied to reactor theory. The knowledge acquired in this subject constitutes the theoretical base necessary for the design of biotechnological and bioremediation processes that will be studied in coordination with other subjects of the degree.
