Environmental Engineering gives you access to all the environmental management and process engineering technologies you need for sustainable municipal, utility, infrastructure and industrial engineering projects.

For February we're focusing on the biological processes that play a key part in the treatment of municipal sewage, sludge and industrial effluents.

There is a broad range of technologies available, from complex engineered systems for water companies or manufacturing facilities through to packaged plant for sites with much smaller population equivalents.

The key is specifying a system that meets the specific characteristics of the wastewater, the constraints of the site and the discharge quality requirements. Energy efficiency and whole life costs are also important considerations.

Wastewater & sewage treatment: what’s NASA got to do with it?

In August this year, the third worst drought in Texas forced municipal water managers in Big Spring to consider recycling sewage water. The effluent, which would typically be discharged into a creek, would be treated and blended with potable water.

UK water companies and the rise of the zebra mussel

The rise of the zebra mussel is no laughing matter: while Thames Water is currently investing millions of pounds upgrading London’s sewer systems, the water company spends approximately £1million each year tackling the problem of pesky, immigrant zebra mussels.
