Objective
The World is running out of clean, safe, fresh water. By 2025 one third of humanity will face severe water scarcity. The goal of this project is to make a contribution to meet this challenge through the development and application of MBR for full-scale municipal wastewater treatment — the most important recent technical advance in biological wastewater treatment. EUROMBRA develops a cost-effective, sustainable solution for new, efficient and advanced municipal wastewater treatment based on MBR technology, linking key limiting phenomena (fouling, clogging) on the micro-, meso- and macro-scale.
