We hope to launch Faculty of Civil Engineering and Geosciences, Delft two additional courses on ‘Aerobic Granular Sludge’ and University of Technology. Research and education ‘High-rate Anaerobic Treatment’ in 2018. activities of the section are centred on the so-called “Urban Water Cycle” and include extraction, treatment Our research activities resulted in the graduation of 7 PhD and supply of drinking water, the collection, conveyance students in the past year, next to the publication of more and treatment of used urban waters including urban than 60 peer reviewed papers in highly ranked journals. drainage, and the make-up of industrial process water Amongst others, we developed a method to coat ceramic as well as treatment of industrial residual streams. Our membranes for application in direct sewage treatment, current main research focus is on advanced treatment and discovered the characteristics of arsenic removal in of compounds and organisms of emerging concern, sand filtration. We were able to extract ammonium from recovery of valuable compounds, water and energy from liquid streams for electricity production in solid oxide fuel used waters, monitoring and asset management of urban cells and treat saline phenolic waste streams efficiently water infrastructures. The section consists of 10 full- using anaerobic membrane bioreactors. In addition, we time, and 5 part-time scientific staff members, about 10 were successful in acquiring new research funds from the (visiting) post-doctoral researchers and 50 PhD students, Netherlands organisation for scientific research (NWO), and 5 staff members for managerial and laboratory with projects like LOTUS-HR and AdOx, and started the support. large EU-H2020 project “Zerobrine”, while having several additional initiatives in the projects pipeline. In 2017 we consolidated our new master track Regarding personnel, we are very proud that one of our Environmental Engineering that started in 2016 with talented young scientists, Merle de Kreuk, was nominated 10 MSc students. We received huge (international) as full professor at TU Delft in 2017. Her recognition interest and in September 2017 40 new MSc students is not only for her scientific research, but also for her started their studies in this track of the Civil Engineering innovations in education that caused a great launch of Master programme. This overwhelming increase our Environmental Engineering MSc track. We expect demonstrates that the Netherlands in general, and the more news on personnel in 2018 as we are now in the TU Delft in particular, has a great reputation in this field process of recruiting a new full professor on Urban Water and that students from all over the world are motivated Infrastructures, an emerging field in both research and to benefit from our knowledge. The new master track education, with an envisaged huge societal impact in the Environmental Engineering runs parallel to the existing years to come. Water Management master track, in which we participate through the specialisation Urban Water Engineering. Also We wish you a lot of pleasure reading our annual report the Water Management master track had a record inflow and hope that this inspires you to start or to continue the of about 70 students in 2017. We are of course very cooperation with our section Sanitary Engineering. proud that ‘Water Resources’ of TU Delft ranks number 1 in the several academic world-ranking lists.
