Overview
Are you interested in solving real-world environmental challenges? Wastewater treatment is essential for protecting the environment, and anaerobic granular sludge technology is at the forefront of creating sustainable solutions. Think of it as using natural microorganisms to clean water in an energy-efficient way, while also recovering valuable resources like nutrients and energy.
In this project, you’ll dive into how anaerobic granular sludge works - tiny but powerful clusters of microbes that improve wastewater treatment by breaking down pollutants. This cutting-edge technology is shaping the future of cleaner, greener wastewater treatment systems, and you can be a part of it.
Research activities
As a member of our research team, you'll:
- operate and fine-tune lab-scale wastewater treatment reactors
- study how microbes form and grow into anaerobic granules
- experiment with different conditions to see how they affect sludge performance and stability
- learn and use advanced tools to analyze water quality and microbial communities.
Outcomes
- Hands-on experience with innovative technologies that are shaping the future of wastewater treatment.
- Practical skills in operating lab equipment, analyzing data, and solving environmental challenges.
- Insights into real-world applications of engineering to address global sustainability needs.
