Licence 3

The different treatment methods will be presented, along with the associated processes (physico-chemical, biological, free culture, fixed culture). The biological treatment of effluent will focus on the elimination of organic carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus. The principles of sizing processes and systems will also be covered. The course will follow the following outline:

1. Effluent characterization and treatment principles
2. Which treatment process to choose, depending on constraints
3. Pre-treatment sizing
4. Sizing secondary treatments
5. Tertiary treatment sizing

This course trains students in microbial identification and water analysis, focusing on 4 areas:

• The microbial world: bacteria, cyanobacteria, fungi, algae, protozoa, viruses.
• Microbial metabolism: metabolic types, nutrition, environmental influences.
• Microbial ecology of the natural environment: interactions between microorganisms and their environment.
• Microbiological control of water: principles, regulations, techniques

The aim of this course is to enable students to integrate an investigative methodology in order to gather the information they need to find an internship or a job. The course is structured around 5 themes:

• Define your Professional Project (PP): which professional fields and sectors, which employers, which professions? Understanding the job market: sectors, qualifications, players (NACE sheet) - Professions (ROME) and skills (professional) sheets
• Drawing up a Skills Assessment (SA) (skills already acquired and those to be acquired for the PP): know-how
• Carrying out a self-assessment
• Creating a CV and LM
• Job interview preparation (role-play on real job offers)

The aim of these lectures is to introduce the basic concepts needed to describe, classify and characterize soils: their various constituents (minerals, clays, organic matter, living organisms), their physical properties (granulometry, texture, structure), chemical properties (clay-humus complex, CEC, redox), and biological properties (horizons and humus, root systems, plant nutrition, role of bacteria, C/N ratio, peda-fauna). We will study the factors involved in soil formation (climate, bedrock, living organisms, relief, weather), the different processes involved in soil formation and evolution (weathering, humification, leaching, podzolization, pedoturbation, ferrallitization, etc.), the major soil classification systems, and the distribution of soils around the world. This scientific foundation will enable us to address current social issues concerning soils in TD: their degradation (erosion, pollution, artificialization, compaction, etc.) and their restoration (depollution, phytoremediation, agroecology).

The field trip will enable you to put into practice the concepts learned in class.

This course will focus on the following concepts:

1) The watershed (definition, geometric, geological, physiographic characteristics, hydrological behavior)

2) Precipitation (Definition of precipitation, concept of showers and intensity, spatial analysis of point measurements (Thiessen, isohets), temporal analysis of point measurements (return period, Montana).

3) Evapotranspiration (interception, evaporation, transpiration, evapotranspiration, formulas of Turc, Thornthwaite)

4) Infiltration (definition of infiltration capacity, characteristics of the unsaturated zone, concepts of water content, hydraulic conductivity at saturation, water potential, balance of forces and state of water in the soil, factors influencing infiltration and water profiles, Horton's law)

5) Runoff (formation of surface runoff, runoff coefficient, subsurface runoff, nappe-river relationship, decomposition of flood hydrographs)

6) Water balance (the water cycle and water balance at different spatio-temporal scales)

7) Hydrometry (measurement principle and technique + field)

This course focuses on the management of by-products from wastewater treatment systems, organic by-products from economic activities (e.g. winegrowing) with high recovery potential, and gaseous by-products from industrial systems. In the case of wastewater treatment plant sludge, the aim is to integrate its management into the broader issue of the treatment (or production) chain, in order to reduce its source at source or control its nature. The various recovery methods are then presented. Sizing of sludge treatment processes is also covered. The course outline is as follows:

1. Characterization of water treatment by-products
2. WWTP sludge treatment processes
3. Management and organic recovery of winegrowing by-products
4. Biogas valorization
5. Management and treatment of gaseous effluents

Without claiming to give an exhaustive list of the laws governing the regulatory framework in which waste (municipal and industrial) and "water resources" are managed, this module aims to set out their spirit and the philosophy behind them. Part of the EU will be devoted to identifying the players involved in water and waste treatment and the links between them.
