Key Water Treatment Research
• Humic substance removal
– Coagulation/membrane filtration
– Ozonation/biofiltration
• Advanced wastewater treatment
– MBBR (large international success!)
– Membrane bioreactor processes
– Nutrient removal
– Membrane biofouling
– Wastewater re-use and recycling
• Particle removal
– Coagulation/separation
– Pre-treatment strategies
– Membrane filtration
• Hygiene
– Virus removal
– Disinfection (UV, Ozonation,
Membrane filtration)
• Recycling in aquaculture systems
Humics - NOM BF-MBR
Membranes

Norwegian surface water
Ceramic microfiltration membrane
Filtration pilot plant
• Surface water treatment, background in Nordic countries:
– Surface water is common drinking water source
– Many small plants in remote locations
– Soft waters with low turbidity and alkalinity, but high
colour
• Objectives
– Colour and organic matter removal
– Reduction of membrane fouling
– Evaluation of pathogen removal and evaluation as
“hygienic barrier”
Coagulation/flocculation coupled with ceramic
microfiltration for removal of humic substances
Our lab infrastructure:
Drinking water treatment
