Environmental Technology

Department of Environmental Technology

The department focuses on the development, application, and testing of (nano)materials and methods with the aim of ensuring environmental sustainability and quality.

RESEARCH

The department’s research focuses primarily on:

Treatment of wastewater, rainwater, and surface water
Drinking water treatment
Groundwater remediation
Membrane processes

Biomass carriers
Nanofibre filters for air and water purification
Application of nanotechnology in biotechnology fields

Cooperation

Project and contract research in cooperation with industrial and commercial entities
Custom research and development

Evaluation and intensification of existing water treatment processes
Independent expert and consulting activities

The Department of Environmental Technology (OTŽP) focuses on the development, application, and testing of new (nano)materials and methods in various environmental technologies in order to achieve significant improvements. Research is conducted in close cooperation with industrial companies, other TUL laboratories, and other interested parties.

The department works on national and international projects, which produce outputs that are applicable to technologies that stabilize, improve, and control the quality of the environment. Through contracts, OTŽP is able to address the individual requirements of industrial and commercial entities in a wide range of environmental areas. We have modern equipment that allows us to test and analyze various components of the environment.

OTŽP has a qualified team with long-term and extensive experience in the areas addressed and covers a wide range of job positions (laboratory technicians, technicians, researchers, and renowned scientists) to provide the services offered and solve ambitious research projects.

Our main goal is to contribute to improving the environment and preserving it for future generations, which is why we make our services and results available to both professionals and the general public.
