Yuying Secondary School

Membrane Bioreactor TechnologyWith microfiltration, this

technology makes the production of NEWater shorter and faster.

Algae used as bio-diesel Green Algae are converted into

energy then used as bio-diesel.One hectare of micro-algae can

produced up to 80000 kg of oil per year!

DAY 48th June 2010

Republic Polytechnic

Waste ManagementSeveral methods to manage solid

waste – landfill, recycling & incineration.

- Landfill being the most affordable.

- Recycling being the most environmental-friendly.

- Incineration creating the most energy.

Wastewater Treatment2 different treatments – Physical

& Biologiocal2 experiments – Mixed Liquor

Suspension Solids (MLSS) & Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD)

DAY 59th June 2010
