Membrane Bioreactor TechnologyUsing 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!

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)
