There are `anaerobic` creatures that can live without air, but there are no creatures on earth that can live without water. This means water is life and is an indispensable precious substance. However, the amount of water that can be used by humans is very limited, and even this is contaminated and scarce due to industrialization, climate change, and population growth. Therefore, the water treatment paradigm is constantly shifting, and we are paying attention to what is the next.
Coagulation/Flocculation, Precipitation & Sand Filtration
Aerobic & Anaerobic Microorganisms for Pollutants Removal
Oxidation Process (AOPs) & Membrane Filtration
What is the Next?
The key concepts of the new water treatment paradigm WATER Lab think are:
Complex
matrix
Desalination & Seawater AOPs
Water reuse Technology
Novel
material
Environmental Functional Materials
Membrane or Adsorption with AOPs
Sustainable
technology
Appropriate Technology
Point-of-Use Water Treatment
We strive to present optimum water treatment technologies while keeping pace with changing environment. WATER Lab explores major water issues and develops advanced water treatment processes. The current main research includes:
Plastic particles smaller than 5 mm
Large Microplastic
5 mm ~ 1 mm
Small Microplastic
1 mm ~ 1 µm
Nanoplastic
< 1 µm
Plastic fragments or particles that are already 5.0 mm in size or less
Microplastics from the degradation of larger plastic products
