]]> We are pleased to announce Water Research Australia Project 1136 Application of sustainable hydrogen economy based AOP for removal of emerging contaminants has secured funding through an ARC Linkage grant.

The project, part of our Whole Water program of research, will be working closely with national water utility companies South East Water, Melbourne Water, Yarra Valley Water and Water Corporation, through WaterRA.

Researchers, Professor Xiwang Zhang (Chemical Engineering Professor and Director of the ARC Research Hub for Energy-efficient Separation), Professor Huanting Wang and Dr Yinlong Zhu (Department of Chemical Engineering, Monash University) will be delivering the project.

]]> Water Research Australia would like to congratulate Huan Liu, whose research won the NSW Student Water Prize at this year’s NSW Heads of Water Gala Dinner & Awards.

Huan is a PhD student from University of Technology Sydney (UTS). Her project “A closed loop technology benefits wastewater treatment plants through sludge treatment” is working to develop a technology for improving antibiotic resistance genes and pathogen removal, enhancing anaerobic sludge digestion and boosting dewaterability of digested sludge.

The prize-winning project is part of collaborative research projects sponsored by Water Research Australia and the Australia Research Council, and will bring economic and environmental benefits to the water industry. WaterRA is supporting this research work via Project 2058 Understanding and Reducing the Spread of Antibiotic Resistance in Anaerobic Sludge Digestion supported by industry-partner South East Water.

“I am delighted Huan’s work has been recognised by the water industry and I would like to acknowledge the strong support from WaterRA and South East Water,” said Huan’s PhD supervisor, Professor Qilin Wang from the Centre for Technology in Water and Wastewater at UTS.
