Expertise

We have expertise in a variety of water treatment technologies as well as energy recovery from waste. These include the use of anaerobic digestion for biogas generation from waste, mercury phyoremediation and microwave hydrothermal carbonisation. 

Research

We undertake research with partners in the U.K. and internationally, with a particular focus on developing nations. Recent research projects include:

  • Cold Plasma Assisted Resource Recovery from Agri-food Industry Wastes (Spark GREEN)
  • Royal Academy of Engineering, Engineering for Development Fellowship to develop improved waste management processes in developing countries. Sola will be investigating agri-food waste and the development of clean biofuels;
  • British Council Newton Fund research on community scale, decentralised anaerobic digestion for energy and resource recovery;
  • The British Council supported collaboration between 天堂视频 and the University of Bahrain: Technical Integration of Sustainable Energy and Water (TISEW).
