Environmental Protection Technologies

Graduates of the study program Environmental protection technologies (EPT) are engineers with a wide theoretical fundament to solve technical solutions, to develop new technological processes, to operate and optimize technological units and equipment. They obtain information not only from common environmental subjects (Water chemistry, Atmospheric chemistry, Environmental microbiology, Waste engineering, Risk properties of compounds, Environmental science etc.), but also from special technological subjects (Processes and technologies of municipal and industrial wastewater treatment, Processes and technologies of water treatment, Processes and technologies of air protection, Processes and technologies of waste recovery, Technological project etc.) and from interdisciplinary subjects (Sanitary environmental structures,  Mechanical equipment in environmental technologies, Environmental management etc.). Study program EPT was created also as a result of demand from praxis for graduates educated in environmental technologies.

Graduates acquire knowledge of chemical and biochemical processes in water and atmosphere, environmental microbiology, thermodynamics, kinetics and reactor design, energetic engineering, waste engineering, risk properties of chemical compounds, monitoring and analyses of pollutants, environmental science, fundamentals of sanitary and environmental structures design, equipment design and environmental management. Main attention is given to processes and technologies of wastewater and water treatment, waste treatment and recovery, air protection, soil protection and remediation. The graduates are able to propose, calculate, model, cooperate in design procedure and operate the above mentioned processes and technologies. In addition, they are able to present the results for professionals on national and international level.

Graduates can be employed as technologists, researchers and designers  for environmental protection processes (mostly for wastewater treatment plants, water treatment plants, biogas plants, air protection plants etc.), specialists in control and monitoring laboratories for environmental pollutants, engineers responsible for environmental protection in industrial companies, operators in water companies, engineers employed in state environmental institutions, engineers employed in distribution companies dealing with environmental protection etc. In addition, graduates can follow in PhD. study in study programs oriented on environmental technologies or in similar study programs.
