This project is to develop a new oxygen supply level and method of building zero carbon-emission wastewater treatment facilities which reduce both the production of greenhouse gasses and the antibiotic residues entering the water environment. The objectives of the project are:
to optimise and understand the oxygen level and supply approach of the anammox-based process for TN removal, N2O emission reduction, pharmaceuticals degradation and antibiotic residues at a lab-scale and industrial-scale using meta-omics techniques;
to perform the life cycle assessment, evaluate in-situ applications, and the implication to the net GHG zero and antibiotic resistance plan.
Duties and responsibilities
This post will carry out research programmes in reducing N2O emission and antibacterial resistance in Anammox-based processes with digestate, undertake project management and/or supervise multi-disciplinary teams. You will be expected to submit publications to refereed journals and to attract external research funding.
