Activities

• development of fundamental and applied research to determine the environmental impact of economic activities and to establish solutions to reduce or eliminate environmental impacts, taking into account the best available techniques (BAT)
• research into developing their own technologies to reduce or eliminate the impact of certain economic activities on human health and the environment. Laboratory experiments on pilot stations and "in situ"
• advice and expertise in development projects: hydraulic works, water supply and sewage, including sewage treatment plants and water supply (for cities and industries), landfills, gas cleaning systems, waste recovery technologies
• technical assistance for the design, construction, and mining in the field of  environmental protection (hydraulic systems, water supply and sewerage systems, urban and industrial waste management, use of natural resources, soil decontamination etc.)
• training of administrative staff, designing operating systems for water management, waste, industrial facilities, etc., in matters of environmental protection, engineering, legislation and environmental economics issues.

Projects:

1. Project Title: "Research and development of equipment to reduce exhaust pollutants from open or closed spaces of urban crowding”

Results:

During this project was realised an installation for the stop of pollutants specific road traffic in subway area by their stop in absorbent elements with activ carbon and hopcalite.

2. Project title: Contract no. 51-020/2007 CEEX-Partnerships "Wastewater treatment technologies results in the production of bakers 'yeast'”

Results:

Mixed treatment solutions consisting in the anaerobic decomposition of organic matter in the first stage, followed by the aerobic decomposition in open pools, then in biofilters.
