Projects

This project aims to reduce the cost and accelerate the commercialisation of wave energy by developing active control systems for wave energy converters.

We aim to create a new approach of accurately modelling extreme events such as flash floods and to impact building guidelines in flash flood prone areas.

This project aims to study the removal of organic trace contaminants during ozonation, as well as investigate membrane ozonation for water treatment.

We investigate how engineered aeration of drinking-water supply reservoirs influences the transport and removal of manganese.

AMEN studies native natural fibers in fabricating affordable and easy tools for mercury pollution detection and remediation from polluted water in Colombia.

We study the potential of mixed microbial culture (MMC) fermentation as a way to produce precursors for fuel, chemicals and biotechnological processes

We aim to create a dynamic coupling of catchment runoff model and lake biogeochemical model to quantify the risk to water security in complex reservoir systems.

We will establish management strategies for stormwater runoff within Enkanini informal settlement in Stellenbosch and contribute towards a global risk map.

This project investigates biogeochemical cycling and engineered in-situ, source-based solutions in improving drinking-water quality within reservoirs.

This is part of a WHO initiative titled “Circular Economy”, aiming to provide insights into the health consequences of circular economy initiatives.
