使學生學習水及廢水之生物處理方法的基本原理、組合程序與處理系統之設計，主要以有機污染物的生物處理為探討，介紹特定之環工生物技術，尤其著重於介紹厭氧生物處理，嗜熱性微生物學，及嗜熱性微生物在環境汙染物處理及工業界應用之角色。

This course is presented to provide graduate students (at the Department of Environmental Science and Engineering, Tunghai University) with fundamental aspects of biological treatment processes. An understanding of biological treatment operation requires knowledge in both microbiology and reactor engineering areas. The main objective of this course is to integrate the theoretical and design facets of biological treatment processes such that underlying principles form the basis of engineering design, operation, and optimization.
