This research topic lied within the framework of clean technologies and waste recycling. A project called Water and Environmental Technologies is currently being studied in collaboration with universities and industrial partners. The idea is to develop a decision-making tool for the reduction of polluting flows in oil refineries.
Another project addresses the precipitation of heavy metals with a new precipitant and is undertaken in partnership with a small company to lower the metal content in waste.
The IPEN department is also developing a study of the anodic oxidation of industrial waste in the context of the European project ENVIREDOX.
In the framework of a project financed by a company specialized in waste treatment, initial collaboration has begun to design a supervision method for the exploitation and recycling of biogas. The aim of this project is to ensure the profitability of biogas recycling units and to reduce the costs of long-term follow-up by optimizing waste degradation and hence biogas production.
A second program continues the air quality spatial analysis initiated in collaboration with EPF Lausanne.
