World leaders in industrially relevant research and teaching in chemical engineering and the environment
Organisation
The Environmental Technology Centre (ETC) in the School of Chemical Engineering and Analytical Science is a multidisciplinary group of staff whose expertise covers the broad range of environmental protection technologies.
The main research themes are in cleaner process design for environmental performance, technologies for abatement, treatment and remediation, the measurement and modelling of environmental transport and dispersion processes, and risk assessment for the environmental impacts of industrial activities.
ETC draws on funding from the Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE), the Research Councils and other research sponsors in central government departments and the European Union. The overall objectives of the Centre are focused on the development of an integrated approach to pollution control and environmental protection.
