Research & development

Investigate deeply.
Engineer precisely.

A research agenda for the next generation of sanitation technologies.

From source sanitation to resource recovery.Science / Systems / Impact

Planned research directions

Research across
disciplines.

Illustrative selective separation research detail
Planned research

Selective separation

Understand capture, solids pathways and cleaning. Investigate how feed properties and operating conditions affect the result.

Illustrative treatment processes research detail
Planned research

Treatment processes

Study biological, physical, chemical and electrochemical methods according to the actual contaminant and application.

Illustrative materials & maintainability research detail
Planned research

Materials & maintainability

Investigate durability, accessible service and replaceable wear parts. Include cleaning waste and maintenance needs.

Illustrative instrumentation & control research detail
Planned research

Instrumentation & control

Explore suitable sensing, traceable records and bounded automation. Make uncertain measurements and operating limits visible.

Images illustrate research themes; they do not represent a catalogue of validated ENSATS products or facilities.

Every idea needs
a testable mechanism.

Define the interaction. Predict the result. Measure the limits.

Hypothesis

Form a clear and testable proposition.

Experiment

Design and run controlled studies.

Evidence

Analyse results and refine the understanding.

Questions guiding
our next programmes

  1. Can separation remain effective as feed changes?
  2. Can maintenance reduce contact and downtime?
  3. Can useful resources be recovered responsibly?
