Wastewater projects win international prize
Two of Murdoch University’s PhD students have won international Huber Technology Prizes in Munich, Germany. The prize rewards ideas, concepts and results of research that are a contribution to the reuse of energy and valuable materials from wastewater.
Murdoch PhD student Kayu Cheng received an award for his entry based on his PhD project concept of producing electricity from wastewater using a microbial fuel cell. John Hunt received an award for his PhD-based project developing software to rate land developments for their water-use efficiency.
“This is an outstanding achievement by Murdoch postgraduates in Environmental Science,” head of Murdoch’s School of Environmental Science, Prof Nick Costa said.
“The use of energy and valuable materials recovered from wastewater is an important contribution to sustainable water management.”
