Welcome to the Centre for Clean Water Technologies

The Centre for Clean Water Technologies has been established as an internationally leading Centre of Excellence for the development of Advanced Technologies in water treatment.

Its overall objective is to focus on multi-disciplinary research activities in the following areas:

• Drinking water treatment
• Waste-water treatment and re-use
• Process water treatment and re-use

The nature of research projects in the group range from fundamental scientific studies through to the application and commissioning of novel technology. It is underpinned by expertise in a wide variety of scientific and engineering disciplines.

Examples of Advanced Water Treatment technologies under development include:

• Nanowater research
• Atomic force microscopy in process engineering (view gallery)
• Novel development of membrane technology
• Photocatalytic and photo-assisted oxidation processes
• Adsorptive micellar flocculation
• Membrane filtration with pre-coagulation
• Desalination
