Water utilities invest significant resources in research, but the full impact may not be maximised if knowledge exchange between project participants and end users is not effective…
This project is investigating whether satellite remote sensing data can be used to calibrate the Integrated Water Quality Model, and to augment WaterNSW’s quantitative analysis of water quality parameters in drinking water catchments…
Ensuring the safety of our drinking water is a critical aspect of public health, with disinfection playing a pivotal role in safeguarding against microbial contaminants…
Historic gold mining has left a legacy of toxic waste which has contaminated soils and water globally…
Composting is an aerobic microbiological process, during which organic waste is biologically degraded by microorganisms (bacteria and fungi) in a series of processes…
Pyrolysis of biosolids is becoming more prevalent in Australia and is emerging as an opportunity to enhance solids handling associated with wastewater treatment, as the process can destroy several contaminants of concern…
Xenobiotic compounds such as perfluoroalky substances have been plaguing our ecosystem by entering our food and water supplies…
To improve water security, drought and environmental resilience of our water bodies many utilities and governments are exploring ways to augment natural systems with highly treated recycled water (HTRW)…
Conventional plastic materials produced from non-renewable resources such as petroleum-based plastics pose serious environmental concerns due to their non-degradable nature…
Gases are often dissolved into water in water and wastewater treatment processes, however, it is known that poor oxygen transfer efficiency in these processes can lead to excessive amounts of air required – leading to either increased operational costs or necessary over-sizing of capital plant, or poor process performance…
