→ International Study Programmes
DWTEE cooperates in two Erasmus Mundus international study programmes. For further information, contact Prof. Pavel Jeníček or Dr. Jan Bartáček.
The International Master of Science in Environmental Technology and Engineering (IMETE) programme is an International Erasmus Mundus programme. It trains people to apply and develop environmental technologies, offering a wide range of optional study fields in an international environment. IMETE is offered by a consortium consisting of three leading Higher Education Institutes: Ghent University (UGhent, Ghent, Belgium), UNESCO-IHE Institute for Water Education (UNESCO-IHE,Delft, Netherlands), and University of Chemical Technology, Prague (UCT Prague, Czech Republic). Student mobility within Europe is an integral part of the programme, which contains 120 ECTS (2 years). During the programme, students study in Delft (Netherlands), Prague (Czech Republic) and Ghent (Belgium). Master thesis research is carried out in one of these locations or at one of the many associated partner institutions all over the world. Between the first and the second years, summer school is held. More information here.
The Environmental Technology for Contaminated Solids, Soils and Sediments (ETeCoS3) programme provides education and research at the PhD level, training its doctoral candidates to think globally and co-work in multidisciplinary research teams. It is delivered by three universities: University of Cassino (Italy), UNESCO-IHE Institute for Water Education (Netherlands), and Université Paris-Est (France). The programme is centered around three key topics in environmental pollution: Heavy metals, recalcitrant organic pollutants, and contaminated solids. The programme focuses on fundamental and applied aspects to treat and remove these pollutants as well as on the development of recovery and reuse technologies with market potential. There will be a close connection to practical problems, as e.g. hot spots in the Balkans, brown fields in the Czech Republic, and sediments and soils polluted by mining activities in Minais Gerais (Brazil). UCT Prague (represented by the Department of Water Technology and Environmental Engineering) is an associated partner of the consortium.
→ Expert Associations
The Czech Water Association (CzWA) was formed in 2009 from the previous Association of Wastewater Treatment Experts (ACE CR). The CzWA is an independent non-governmental and non-profit organization promoting the sustainable and improved management of the total water cycle. The CzWA is a national member for the Czech Republic in the European Water Association and in the International Water Association.
The International Water Association (IWA) is a global reference point for water professionals, spanning the continuum between research and practice and covering all facets of the water cycle. Through its network of members and experts in research, practice, regulation, industry, consulting and manufacturing, IWA is in a better position than any other organisation to help water professionals create innovative, pragmatic and sustainable solutions to challenging global needs. Members of DWTEE are active in the following specialist groups of the association: Anaerobic Digestion; Design, Operation and Costs of Large Wastewater Treatment Plants; Microbial Ecology; and Water Engineering (formerly Activated Sludge Population Dynamics).
The European Water Association (EWA) today represent most European countries. The main goal of the association is to create a forum for the mutual information exchange in all aspects of water pollution control in general and of wastewater collection, treatment and disposal in particular. EWA provides professional service to the European Commission in matters dealing with water pollution control and consultancy of water legislation. The Czech Republic became a member of EWA in May 1997. The activities of EWA in the Czech Republic are organized and co-ordinated by the Czech Water Association (CzWA). Professor Jiri Wanner from DWTEE was EWA President between 2005-2007.
The World Toilet Organization (WTO) is a global non-profit organization committed to improving toilet and sanitation conditions worldwide. WTO is also one of the few organizations to focus on toilets instead of water, which receives more attention and resources under the common subject of sanitation. Founded in 2001 with 15 members, it now has 235 member organizations in 58 countries working towards eliminating the toilet taboo and delivering sustainable sanitation. Professor Jiri Wanner is a member of the WTO.

Project goal:
The project aims to assess various advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) for the treatment of difficult to treat industrial wastewater. Subsequently, the wastewater will be purified by means of a membrane biological reactor (MBR), which guarantees a high outflow quality. To carry out laboratory and operational tests, a pilot plant model with AOP and subsequent MBR will be installed (fitted) at the selected location. Several AOPs based on the use of UV radiation, ozone and hydrogen peroxide will be evaluated in the project. The long-term operation of the plant will evaluate the efficiency of AOPs, the efficiency of the biological process, the development of permeate quality, the economic and energy balance, and the utilization of purified waste water for recycling.

This project's first aim is to identify the point sources of perfluorinated alkyl acids (PFAA, including PFOA) input to the anthropogenic water cycle. We will develop a passive sampler of PFAA in municipal and industrial wastewater and landfill leachates. This enables the management of concentrated PFAA sources before diluting, e.g., by municipal sewage. Our own sampling campaign will describe the impact of these sources on the overall PFAA load in the anthropogenic water cycle including sewer network, WWTP, surface water, and drinking water treatment. Finally, we will describe the mechanisms of PFAA removal at a WWTP and deliver a mathematical model that will enable the water professionals to efficiently resolve the PFAA load in Czechia.

Project goal:
The aim of this project is to demonstrate the efficiency and limits of aerobic granular sludge technology (AGS), which is the future of wastewater treatment. The capabilities of the technology will be demonstrated via several stress cycles exploring the hydraulic and organic loading limits of the technology, the appropriate length of the total cycle and sub-cycles (e.g. anoxic phase), optimization of enhanced biological phosphorus removal, with emphasis on the new control system of the treatment plant. During these states, regular monitoring and evaluation will take place using modern methods - fluorescent in-situ hybridization (FISH), gene probes, and a mathematical model to fully understand the technology and to enable the suitable design and operation of the technology on full scale.

Project goal:
The main goal of the project is to propose an economically efficient and non-invasive method of early warning against the spread of the avian influenza virus (HPAI) in poultry farms, which will prevent the subsequent widespread liquidation of entire farms. Early detection of infection sources will be achieved by analyzing environmental samples systematically collected in natural water bodies with a significant presence of wild birds (surface water, sediments, droppings) and in poultry farms (dust, smears, aerosol, litter).
The sub-goals are (1) designing a methodology for sample collection and analysis incl. appropriate follow-up measures when positive samples occur, (2) identifying mechanisms of primary infection, and (3) understanding the secondary spread of infection in the farm.

Project goals
The project will implement the emerging digital twin of a water treatment plant (WTP) enabling the simulation of technological and process measures for various operating conditions, management of documentation, and especially the management of operational risks. Thanks to the 24-hour prediction of raw water quality input using the computational algorithm of neural networks, operational risks will be eliminated. This predictive knowledge of the input parameters to the water treatment process will increase, together with the expert simulation in a mathematical model, the robustness of the critical infrastructure system and ensure the supply of quality drinking water to the population. Simulations in the digital twin will be performed in real-time on the infrastructure of testing authorities.

Abstrakt:
Anammox bacteria are standardly applied in the wastewater treatment process for the removal of nitrogen. Their waste biomass and other sludge compose a great amount of waste from the treatment plants and its further utilization or recycling is often problematic. However, unlike other bacteria, anammox contain unique lipids in their membranes, the ladderanes, which characteristics are still not sufficiently explored. Therefore, this project is devoted to the cultivation of anammox bacteria, the isolation and characterization of ladderanes, and research on their possible applications in the chemical or pharmaceutical industry. The ultimate goal is to recover the waste anammox biomass and turn it into a high-value product, a source of ladderane phospholipids.

Prediction of these data in the order of hours to days will allow proposing operational measures to reduce the risk of pollution emissions, including simulation scenarios and risk analysis at WWTPs, or at relief chambers. The algorithm will use cloud-computing and machine learning. Based on an in-depth analysis of available wastewater data (qualitative and quantitative data, recurring events, ie days of the week, seasons, etc. together with precipitation forecasting), a neural network capable of predicting the quality of inflowing wastewater will be created. This knowledge will make it possible to create a database of scenarios of operational measures at WWTPs, to simulate the effect of their implementation and thus eliminate the risk of non-compliance with emission limits to aquatic ecosystems.

The ability to obtain and process relevant data on water infrastructure is therefore essential for the sustainable development of society. The project is based on the principle of digitization of water management infrastructure (Smart Metering). Industry 4.0, ie the now culminating fourth industrial revolution, requires a modern approach to the management of water management infrastructure of cities and municipalities. The use of artificial intelligence to obtain predictive data on water quality in practice is a completely new concept, but based on already functioning digital tools (cloud platform with high computing power, machine learning method with Big Data).

Project Objective
The overall objective is to facilitate industrial symbiosis by co-development of a roadmap towards wider uptake of water-smart solutions for wastewater reuse and resource recovery.
Specific objectives
To demonstrate innovative technical solutions that optimize water reuse and resource recovery in selected industry settings by:
- Demonstrating safe use of treated effluent for irrigation purposes in grey-green solutions for urban development with reasonable water transportation expenses.
- Developing and applying monitoring and control schemes to adequately manage the health and quality risks associated with reuse of treated wastewater and recovered resources.
- Optimization of the value chains to quantify the improved resource efficiency and economic benefits, also with respect to future applications.
Abstract
WIDER UPTAKE will demonstrate innovative solutions for wastewater reuse and resource recovery where market utilization of the recovered resource(s) (water, nutrients, materials, energy) is achieved through a symbiosis between the utility and industry. WIDER UPTAKE will apply a case study approach that will provide applied knowledge on the operationalization of the solutions in a range of socio-economic, environmental and climatic conditions. The case study approach will cover different situations with regards to the availability of water resources and what type of resources e.g. nutrients, biosolids, energy that are in focus for recovery. The scale and maturity in the development of the water-smart symbiotic solutions will also differ between the case studies allowing for the sharing of knowledge and identifying best practices at different stages of implementation.

Project objectives:
The aim of the project is to create chemical and technological conditions for the recycling and reuse of purified urban wastewater and where it is possible to replace so far usage of expensive drinking water for non-drinking purposes. The reused water will be utilized mainly for agricultural and other irrigation, irrigation for lawns of sports grounds (golf, football, etc.), urban greenery, service water for maintaining the cleanness of towns and municipalities. After measurements in the laboratory, proposed operations and their combinations are tested at the pilot scale in the form of a module, treating the effluent from the current water line in the Central Wastewater treatment plant in Prague.
Specific objectives:
The specific aim was a proposal of the composition of laboratory devices for testing of the technological arrangement of the water treatment line, treating the effluent from CWWTP to water suitable for irrigation, and realization of testing the particular variations of technological arrangements in pilot scale. The economic intention is to produce cheaper service water than potable water, often used for these activities. The non-economic aim is the conservation of natural sources – i.e. the raw groundwater and surface water resources used for potable water production.

Motivation:
In recent years, eutrophication has proven to be a serious threat to water bodies. Excess of nutrients in surface water causes increased growth of cyanobacteria, which further causes a reduction of dissolved oxygen, death of fish due to suffocation and complicates processes of water treatment for further use. The deteriorating quality of water resources is directly related to human activities. One of the main sources of nutrients in water is effluent from municipal wastewater treatment plants. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to this problem and try to develop new or improve existing methods of nutrient removal in municipal wastewater treatment plants, especially forms of phosphorus, and thus work to improve the quality of water resources.
Project Objective:
The main objective of the Project is the introduction of environmental technologies into the wastewater treatment processes (WWTP) with the aim of reducing the hazardous phosphorus impact on the environment especially in the water protection sphere, and/or minimizing the risks of the negative influences of this pollutant on living organisms including human health. It is specifically, research and development of technologies focused on the tertiary treatment of wastewaters using the nanofibers technology. The main goal of this Project is obtaining a utility model – MEMFOS system and functional sample. The MEMFOS system will find the application at wastewater treatment plants whose outflows will be required to show total phosphorus concentrations in micrograms.
Specific objectives:
In the area of tertiary wastewater treatment, the Czech Republic does not use technology that would ensure microgram values of phosphorus in effluent neither technology using nanomaterial. Due to the planned changes in the law, will be required a reduction of concentration of phosphorus in the effluent from WWTP. It is necessary to respond to this requirement, i.e. find a solution and thus be prepared for the emerging market in the water sector. The solution procedure includes the following points:
- Laboratory testing of the behavior of existing nanomaterials by using the effluent from wastewater treatment plants with subsequent modification of the material so that that material can be used as a main functional element for the MEMFOS pilot plant.
- Design of the MEMFOS pilot plant.
- Construction of the MEMFOS pilot plant.
- Testing of the MEMFOS pilot plant.
- Optimization of operations of MEMFOS pilot plant.

Project goal:
The goal of the project is finding of technological parameters and the bioreactor configuration for biological conversion of carbon dioxide to biomethane, which is transportable by the natural gas grid. The project comprises a determination of cultivation conditions of hydrogenotrophic methanogens, an introduction of hydrogen to the system, finding of bioconversion limits during hydrogen dosing to the external bioreactor or directly to the anaerobic fermenter. Further different possibilities of an application in the technology of biogas production will be evaluated. This approach enables to exploit existing technological and energetical infrastructures of biogas plants and wastewater treatment plants and the implementation could be very fast.

Design a unit for removing micropollutants and antibiotic resistance genes from small water sources of drinking and wastewater.
Abstract:
The project responds to two global problems: the spread of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and the general pollution of the environment by micropollutants (drug and pesticide residues). The growth of antibiotic resistance is a complex problem and these days it is one of the greatest civilization threat. Many micropollutants have already been shown to have negative effects on aquatic and soil organisms that can significantly disrupt the affected ecosystem. This contamination can have a direct and indirect impact on human health. The micropollutants are commonly found in wastewaters, however, wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) were not designed to remove them. Treated wastewater is a potential source of water for further application, but care must be taken to avoid the spread and accumulation of ARGs and micropollutants, e.g. by using contaminated water for crop watering. The Czech Republic will have to adapt in the near future to new Regulation of the European Parliament and of the Council on minimum requirements for water reuse, which is currently under preparation. The main objective of this Regulation is to mitigate the causes and consequences of water scarcity throughout the EU. This project focuses on the treatment of wastewater from smaller local sources, such as a small WWTP or recreational facility with a domestic treatment plant, with the aim of potential reuse of these waters for utility purposes. Furthermore, the system will be optimized for the recovery of local underground sources of drinking water contaminated with pesticides from agricultural activities. This enables to use it in areas with a lack of (high-)quality water for housing, recreation, and services.

- Determination of health risks and risks to the environment.
- Use of Internet of Things (IoT) technologies.
Abstract:
The most common objection to the gray waters recycling is that these waters contain harmful substances or the environment and may affect health or the environment. In practice, integration into technical building equipment (TZB) as well as integration into the public water supply and sewerage system (disputes concerning the payment of sewerage and connection to the water supply network from which the water used) has not yet been resolved or is not verified in practice.
The aim is to design and verify several solutions for recycling gray waters, to identify health risks and risks to the environment. Based on the results, propose suitable solutions with respect to the purpose of use. Furthermore, technically solve the objection, connection to public water supply and sewerage, using the Internet of things (IoT) technology.

Development and proliferation of antibiotic resistance are classified among major global threats by the World Health Organization. Sanitation of the water cycle is essential to sustain environmental and human health. Within urban water systems, public and governmental perception is rising on the role of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and their microbiomes as putative hotspots for the proliferation of antibiotic resistance, and the need for new quality criteria and installation upgrades.
However, because of methodological biases, our knowledge remains limited on the emission, fate and possible amplification or removal of antibiotic-resistant bacteria (ARB) and antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) across WWTPs. There is an urgent need to develop standardized methods and database for the accurate identification, characterization, and quantification of antibiotic resistance in such complex water matrices.
REPARES brings excellence in research on spread of antibiotic resistance in WWTPs through establishing cooperation of UCT with leading European innovators and internationally-renowned expert of the water-related antibiotic resistance field: UCP will share its expert leadership in wastewater-mediated antibiotic resistance; TUDelft will deliver methods to successfully apply for international projects; Wetsus will propel cooperation with the non-academic sector; AAU will integrate the REPARES database within the world-accepted MiDAS database.
Goal
REPARES aims at advancing the European community‘s know-how on antibiotic resistance across sanitation waterways, which in the future will bring society to closer achieve Sustainable Development Goal of the United Nations. REPARES will act as an essential vector to disseminate information on antimicrobial resistance spread within European WWTPs beyond science and technology in order to reach the non-academic community by means of open events, popularization publications, and operation of the REPARES web platform

The relevance of research on antibiotic resistance
- Antibiotics are one of the common contaminants in wastewater.
- The increased bacterial antibiotic resistance is the result of the spread of antibiotic-resistant bacteria and the transfer of resistance genes.
- Antibiotic resistance can be acquired through random genes mutations and/or by horizontal gene transfer.
- The World Health Organization qualified antibiotic resistance development to the major global threats to society.
