In-situ disposal of cementitious wastes at UK nuclear sites
This fully funded UK Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) PhD bursary provides an exciting opportunity to pursue postgraduate research relating to waste management during the decommissioning of UK nuclear sites. Read more
The Internal Condensation Engine for power generation from low temperature waste heat
Supervisory Team. Gerald Muller. Project description. In the UK, there is a potential of low temperature waste heat and waste steam with temperatures of 80 to 150 C of 7 TWh per year, this corresponds to 40% of the total waste heat production. Read more
Advanced Material Development and Assessment of Cementitious Filler Materials for Long-Term Disposal of Nuclear Waste
How can concrete materials (the most utilized material in the world) offer unique solutions to the nuclear fuel cycle? How can we leverage modern cement… Read more
Developing Filtration Technologies: Optimising Flue Gas Filtration Assets in the UK Energy from Waste Sector
About Durham Filtration. Durham Filtration Ltd. has the strategic intent to become a renowned technical authority in the field of flue-gas filtration for large-scale industrial combustion plants, particularly in the Energy-from-Waste and Biomass Energy markets of the UK and Europe. Read more
Valorisation of wet biomass waste with carbon dioxide for sustainable fuel production
Global wet organic waste production has increased over the years. It is recognised that the development of alternative, cleaner sources of fuels from wet biomass waste can help to secure energy sources and address environmental challenges. Read more
Mobile gasification unit for pharmaceutical waste
A report by the Department of Health estimates that unused medicines cost the NHS around £300 million every year, with an estimated £110 million worth of medicine returned to pharmacies, £90 million worth of unused prescriptions being stored in homes and around £50 million worth of medicines disposed of by Care Homes. .

Cleaner Waste Systems through Simultaneous CO2 Capture and Utilisation
The water and wastewater sector are responsible for around 3% of global greenhouse gas emissions. Every day, large volumes of sludge are generated, which must be treated to reuse standard but the sector is constrained on the amount of waste it can process due to the poor biodegradability of solids.
