Life Cycle Assessment of Wastewater Treatment SystemsThis project uses life cycle assessment to demonstrate that for a specific receiving environment (e.g. Moreton Bay) there exists an optimum wastewater treatment system that minimises environmental burdens.
Granular Sludge BNR Process: Breaking the Sludge BarrierThis project investigates the overall structure of aerobic granules to achieve high level of COD, nitrogen and phosphorus removal from high strength industrial wastewater using Granular Sludge Technology.
Optimal Solutions for Sulfide Management in Sewers (ARC LP0454182)This long term research direction for the AWMC provides an understanding of the Biotransformation processes in sewers system to achieve optimal process management
Water Recycling Research ProgramSouth East Queensland (SEQ) is the fastest growing region in Australia, which, coupled with the worst drought on record, has highlighted the need to secure the regional water supply. This has resulted in a $2.5 Billion AUD infrastructure project to divers
Project Neptune: Australian NodeSewage treatment is no longer an end-of -pipe activity, but a vehicle for delivering valuable resources to the environment and for human activities.
Bioelectrochemical Systems: from power generation to biorefiningEnergy and water supply are two of the biggest challenges facing humanity in the coming decades. The present efforts to develop strategies for the recovery or efficient usage of resources are, therefore, highly justified. Groundbreaking technology is need
Sewer Corrosion & Odour Research (SCORe) Project (ARC LP0882016)This large ARC Linkage Project ($20mil total funds) led by AWMC will optimise the management of corrosion and odour problems in sewer systems with 11 Industry Partners, 5 Australian university research providers & 4 overseas university research partners.
Free Ammonia and Free Nitrous Acid Inhibition on the Catabolic and Anabolic Processes of Ammonia- and Nitrite-Oxidising BacteriaThis project aims to determine the inhibitory effects of free ammonia and free nitrous acid on the catabolic and anabolic processes of ammonia- and nitrite-oxidising bacteria.
Advanced Stability Sensor for Anaerobic Digestion ProcessesThis project develops a new, immersed titration-based sensor with the design goals of increased flexibility, decreased maintenance, and low installed footprint.
