Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

Course subject(s) 3. Sieving the wastewater

This folder contains background information on the lecture slides, both in depth material for the curious student as well as material to be studied for the exam.

Fine Sieving

Our guest lecturer Chris Ruiken studies the use of a fine sieve instead of primary settling to remove suspended solids from the influent. His research has been published in a report, of which the english summary is given in the pdf file “Influent fijnzeven in Wastewater Treatment Plants”.
