Water
TU Delft and Brazilian counterparts collaborate in the areas of water treatment, sanitation & coastal engineering. Staff exchanges & joint research presently focus on resource recycling, nutrient recovery and wastewater treatment with USP and UNICAMP. A large-scale workshop on nutrient recovery was hosted in November 2021 with the aim to develop joint research trajectories of interest for both Dutch and Brazilian companies and/or institutions. At present several topics are identified and project proposals are under development with RHDHV and Paques to be submitted to FAPESP. In 2022, researchers exchanged a pilot plant to support mutual research. Industrial collaborators include Paques, RoyalHaskoning DHV, BKR, Sanasa and Koppert.
