Development of a drone based monitoring framework for Greenhouse Gas emissions from sludge treatment centres MSc by Research
Severn Trent Water (STW) is seeking to improve Greenhouse Gas monitoring capability across multiple sludge treatment centres and assets to ensure STW adheres to the agreed 2030 Triple Carbon Pledge. Read more
Investigating the role of the biofilm in waste water treatment plants as a reservoir for antimicrobial resistance
Ref. SHLS20023 Spencer. Background. By 2050, 10 million premature deaths could occur annually as the result of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). An important route of AMR into the environment is via the sewerage network where key control points are the wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Read more
Water sustainability: Public perceptions and health implications of water reuse.
A rapid rise in global per capita consumption of freshwater alongside fluctuation of supply due to climate change impacts indicates there will be a 40% shortfall in available freshwater resources by 2030. Read more
