The platform
The research and experimentation platform of UR REVERSAAL located near the wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) of La Feyssine (Lyon) allows to deepen the knowledge of complex phenomena related to urban wastewater treatment. It is a tool that contributes to providing public and private actors about design and operations rules of wastewater treatment systems, with a view to the preservation and sustainable use of resources. Situated at a municipal wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), the research platform can be used to experiment with wastewater and sludge at different stages of treatment. |
