Research and Process Development Interests and Expertise

  • Design, implementation of chemical and biological processes in wastewater treatment, water reclamation and resource recovery.
  • Development and application of biotechnological processes in biomass production, wastewater reclamation, biological nutrient removal and resource recovery.
  • Process optimisation and management on chlorinating, coagulation, flocculation, biological nutrient removal, softening and stabilisation in water reclamation from industrial wastewater.
  • Integrated biotechnological processes for recycling and conversion of organic wastes into value-added bioproducts.
  • Characterisation, bioremediation and biodegradation of hazardous, organic and contaminated wastes.
  • Optimisation, simulation and modelling of chemical and biotechnological processes.
  • Environmental assessment and planning, water quality analysis, monitoring and control process, and waste management.
