PROJECTS

PROTOTYPE

MD-solar thermal energy
We are optimizing a prototype of direct contact membrane distillation (membrane area 500 cm^2) coupled with solar thermal energy.

RESEARCH

Green walls
We are studying and implementing a nature based-solution for the treatment of greywater (wastewater from sinks, showers, and appliances) using green walls.

PROTOTYPE

Humidity harvesting

We are upscaling a prototype for the generation of freshwater from atmospheric humidity using solar energy.

DEVICES

Environmental sensors
We are designing sensor chips based on Raman or on small cantilevers for fast quantification of specific contaminants and for detection of trace contaminants, respectively.

PROTOTYPE

Cavitation reactor

We are upscaling a prototype of a hydrodynamic cavitation reactor for advanced oxidation and for inactivation of pathogens.

RESEARCH

Water-energy nexus

We are conducting a study to estimate the self-consistency of the energy-water system based on future scenarios of water treatment technology portfolios.

RESEARCH

Reduced fouling
We are studying and implementing fluid dynamics strategies to reduce fouling in membrane-based treatment processes.
