Research topics

In the field of health and environmental engineering, our group has more than 30 years experience dealing with:

Processes and Plants

    • Application and optimization of conventional and advanced processes for the treatment of drinking water, wastewater and sewage sludge
    • Writing of protocols for the study of functionality and for the optimization of purification processes in water treatment plants (drinking and wastewater) and existing sludge
    • Calculation of the performance of treatment plants also using performance indicators and identification of possible upgrades

Circular economy

    • Identification of advanced treatment solutions for the minimization of residue production in water treatment plants
    • Study of possible recovery/reuse alternatives of the residues produced by the plants, both for water treatment and in other contexts
    • Use of alternative materials within the water treatment processes

Environmental impact reduction

    • Application of low-impact environmental water and sludge treatment techniques
    • Assessment of greenhouse gas emissions resulting from the treatment of wastewater and sludge
    • Assessment and remediation techniques for contaminated soils

Emerging contaminants

    • Development of ad-hoc monitoring protocols to quantify the presence within the flows (drinking water, wastewater, and sludge)
    • Study and application of technologies for the effective removal of such contaminants
    • Drafting of Water and Sanitation Safety Plans
