BEWISe Biological Engineering: Wastewater Innovation at Scale

Case Studies

BEWISe Case Studies

BEWISe has contributed to many research projects so far.

Prof Tom Curtis talks about:

  • The evolution of BEWISe and the links with NUFEB modelling (the big idea). Tom also gives examples of how BEWISe has contributed to other projects which have formed new models, and publications.
  • BEWISe has enabled the validation of simulations using bespoke equipment.
  • Future proposals and the low-energy/carbon neutral agenda.

Prof David Werner talks about:

  • The value of using BEWISe.
  • Working with BEWISe and the mobile Laboratory.
  • Future plans for experimental work at BEWISe.

Dr Liz Heidrich talks about:

  • Research with Microbial Electro-chemical technologies, using wastewater at BEWISe.
  • Liz shows how the equipment is used.

Dr Martin Spurr talks about:

  • The importance of using real wastewater to carry out research.
  • Converting organic compounds in to electricity, at the BEWISe facility.

Dan Curtis talks about:

Other available equipment at BEWISe and runs through how they work: Activated Sludge Tanks, Trickling Filters and Adaptable Polishing Tanks (eg wetlands).
