Research Specification

The research activities of the Chair focus on biological treatment, disinfection by-products, quality in distribution systems (regrowth and corrosion), treatment processes for small communities.
The Chair's research activities are performed in full-scale drinking-water treatment plants (100,000 to 1,400,000 m3/d) or in pilot-scale facilities (20 to 400 m3/d) to provide industry with operational and design criteria for treatment processes in order to meet future water quality requirements.
