Project description
This research aims at controlling the processes involved in wastewater treatment to reduce emissions of CH4 and N20. The main objectives are:
- to quantify the emissions(at lab-scale and full-scale)
- to identify the underlying mechanisms of GHG formation
- to translate this knowledge into a mathematical model
- the development and testing of adequate control strategies
