Our areas of research

The Waste Water Treatment research group is concerned with urban and industrial waste water and sludge treatment.

The research activities of Process Engineering in Hydro Systems focuses on membrane processes in water and waste water treatment, simulation and numerical modelling of treatment processes and (industrial) water management in the context of Integrated Water and Resource Management (IWRM).

Urban Hydrology studies urban drainage whilst taking the interaction between sewer system, sewage treatment plant and bodies of water as well as the catchment areas material flow into account.

The Transport Processes in Hydrosystems research group is concerned with the investigation of the spread of various substances as particulate dispersions or dissolved substances, which can occur both in aquatic ecosystems and in anthropogenically influenced settlement areas.
