Title: Investigate biotreatment systems.
Course: Biotechnology Foundations in Technology Education (21999) > Section: Applying Biotechnology to the Environment

Investigation should include

- the purpose of biotreatment systems
- the function of various types of biotreatment systems (e.g., solid wastes, hazardous wastes, wastewater treatment, soil reclamation, treatment of airborne contaminants)
- design considerations in the application each.

Process/Skill Questions:

- What are the key characteristics of biotreatment systems?
- How does the method of biotreatment affect the design of the system?
- What biotechnology techniques are used in biotreatment systems?
- How can biotreatment systems benefit the environment?
- What is the current public perception of biotreatment systems?
- How has the lack of biotreatment systems in underdeveloped countries affected the environment?
