An article by Mark Kowalski and Line Poinel of WRc caught my eye today. It deals with the problem of energy use at UK treatment plants. Seventy five percent of their operational carbon dioxide emissions are coming from the use of electricity via the National Grid. The industry are committed to offsetting 20% of this by 2020 by a greater use of renewables. The article is published in the autumn edition of Water and Sewerage Journal. Link
Water Science and Water Technology are core research areas at Trinity College Dublin, Ireland. Working in the fields of wastewater treatment, water treatment and water pollution control, the Water Technology Research Group (formally Water Technology Research) has been working at the cutting edge of these core areas since 1980. This is the blog of Professor Nick Gray who heads the Water Technology Research Group based in the Centre for the Environment.
