Research in Environmental Engineering encompasses three areas: water treatment, wastewater treatment and solid waste disposal and management. The work serves the vibrant communities in the Prairies with special challenges of advanced nutrient removal from water and wastewater; cold climate issues; water and wastewater treatment in remote locations; landfill bioreactor issues. Examples include: particle analysis in water and wastewater; floc properties in dissolved air flotation; biological nutrient removal from wastewater and sludge liquor; novel biofilm membrane processes; biosolids processing and disinfection; anaerobic treatment processes; animal residue treatment; fermentation to generate carbon for biological phosphorus removal; clogging of leachate collecting pipes; and bioreactor landfills.
