Summary
Waste economy and problems of its solution. Waste treatment, storage and
disposal. Fluid wastes – possibilities of fluid waste storage into permeable
formations. Selection of suitable waste sorts for storage. Projecting,
construction and working of injecting stations, aletrnative complications.
Environmental impact of the station working.
Learning Outcomes of the Course Unit
The main aim of the course is to teach students to assess, on the basis of analysis, the possibilities of storing liquid waste in selected – appropriate permeable layers. On the basis of theoretically acquired knowledge, students must be able to sort the information by the degree of importance and to propose the suitable operation of injection station, especially with considering the influence of its operation on the surrounding environment. To assess the significance of information and to be able to distinguish between essential and less essential information. To be able to apply then the knowledge in further professional growth.
