Water utilities around the world are determined to achieve net-zero emissions. Nitrous oxide (N₂O) emissions often account…
During the SARS-CoV-2 global pandemic, the Victorian Department of Health developed the most comprehensive and extensive program of sewage surveillance in Australia…
This project will develop a Novel Phycoremediation technology “phycosol” for winery process effluent with simultaneously generation of biomass for biofuels and other beneficial products enhancing the circular economy…
By dewatering sludge, wastes can be efficiently and reliably concentrated into filter cakes with high solids for cost-effective disposal…
The aim of this project is to determine which physical features of textiles increase fibre release during washing, so they can be reengineered to minimise environmental impacts, improving the quality of bioresources such as effluent water and biosolids…
Recovery of bio-energy and resources from organic waste streams in established trade waste customers
This project is investigating the potential for using historical water utility data to identify targets for resource recovery, particularly biogas. Differences and similarities in physico-chemical properties and microbial communities between different sites and industries will be studied…
Influence of sampling methods on the production of volatile emissions from biosolids-related sources
As there is lack of understanding the roles of sampling methods on measuring for volatile gas sampling from biosolids, it might cause various concern about what are we really measuring…
In Australia, around 1.4 million tonnes of biosolids were produced in 2021…
The aim of this project is to identify environmental and public health risks associated with urban wetland sediment from recreational activities undertaken in or around urban wetlands across Melbourne…
The biosolids industry in Australia has historically developed in response to the regional challenges, resources available and their markets perception and demands…
