WASTEWATER MANAGEMENT LAB

Current topics

​

1. Technical evaluation of biological wastewater treatment technologies

   • there are several parameters that need to be measured to ensure the a safe and healthy water environment.​

   • several technologies are already developed, however, they need to be rechecked every once in a while.

2. Development of enhanced in-sewer purification technologies

   • The sewer pipe can be used to as a wastewater treatment technology that can potentially work in synergy with existing wastewater management systems.

   • It is still in the early stages of development.

   • Pictured on the left is a working reactor for enhanced in-sewer purification by the intermittent contact oxidation process (ICOP).

3. Detection and monitoring of metabolic transformation products after biochemical processes.

   • The transformation of organic matter (or any metabolite that can be transformed biologically) can be monitored by their transformation products.​

   • various techniques can be employed and validated towards the goal of monitoring these metabolites.
