The Evolution of Biological Anaerobic Wastewater Treatment over Time
Fri 30 Jun
|Nash Lecture Theatre (K2.31), KCL
Biological anaerobic treatment has been used for close to a century for stabilising sewage sludge generated by aerobic biological treatment and recently some industrial wastewater.

About the event
Invited speaker: Prof David Stuckey
David Stuckey is currently Emeritus Professor of Biochemical Engineering in the Department of Chemical Engineering at Imperial College London, and a Visiting Professor at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore for the last 10 years. He obtained his Batchelors in Chemical Engineering, and a Masters in Biochemical Engineering from the University of Melbourne, Australia. He then did his Ph.D in Environmental Engineering at Stanford with Perry McCarty. Prof Stuckey has worked in Australia, the U.S., Norway (at NTH/SINTEF in Trondheim), Switzerland (ETH/EAWAG in Zurich), and the U.K. (Uni of Sussex, and I.C.). His current research interests are in Downstream Separations of high value added products using novel techniques such as Colloidal Liquid Aphrons (CLAs), reverse micelles and surfactant precipitation, and reactor design using membrane separation/delivery of substrates.
