Innovative Wastewater Treatment Technologies – The INNOQUA Project (NowOpen)

Product Description null Review The INNOQUA project and book are so timely. Demonstrated at numerous locations worldwide, INNOQUA convincingly innovates the structure and process engineering of wastewater treatment in terms of "Nature Based Solutions" - an eye opener!Congratulations and thanks to all members of the project team - one of who sadly passed away just before this publication. It is with gratitude that we remember our academic advisor and friend Prof. Chris Buckley from the WASH R&D Centre at the University of KwaZulu Natal. His commitment to the INNOQUA project was invaluable. The time for wastewater innovation is now - INNOQUA shows us a way.Stefan Reuter Member of the Supervisory Board of the Faecal Sludge Management Alliance and Independent Advisor, Germany About the Author Costel Bumbac is a senior research scientist leading the biotechnology research team within the Environmental Technology and Technology Transfer Department of ECOIND, Romania.
