Environmental Biotechnology Cooperative Research Centre (EBCRC) develops advanced
technologies based on biological systems to improve efficiency and
reduce or utilise waste to benefit a wide range of industries and the
environment. EBCRC concentrates its research and commercial efforts in
three core areas: biofilm prevention and dispersal, rapid in-field
microbial detection and control and bioprocesses such as bioremediation
and industrial wastewater treatment.
EBCRC brings
together the multidisciplinary skills of researchers, engineers and
industry participants to bring out novel technologies in environmental,
industrial, agricultural, veterinary, mining and medical applications.

Aerobic granulation - wastewater treatment technology of the future
EBCRC is optimising wastewater treatment systems by manipulating the microbial composition and properties of biosolids.The benefits of granulation include a dramatic increase in the throughput of a biosolid processing facility thus reducing the immediate need for plant managers to upgrade their assets. In addition, with the combined use of nutrient removal processes, it is envisaged that the entire footprint of a sludge processing plant will be greatly reduced. |
