VU-Internet > ISI > Projects & Research > Water Treatment Water Treatment.JPG) Werribee Centre for Sustainable Water Use (Werribee Centre)Treatment Technologies The centre is developing the capability to develop and demonstrate water and wastewater treatment technologies at both the laboratory and pilot scale, with desalination, advanced oxidation and low pressure membrane systems central to the centre’s research program. The aims of the research program include: Lowering the energy required for desalination Increasing water recovery from desalination processes Scaling and fouling reduction of membrane systems
Development of advanced oxidation materials and processes for organics destruction Minimisation of the residuals and residuals treatment .JPG) More efficient use of nutrients within water streams Improving the performance and management of small scale treatment systems Some Current projects Water Conservation by Replacing Cooling Towers
