Overview
This project focusses on understanding, mitigating and valorising those emissions, so that at the end of the project the PhD candidate would have developed the fundamental science to have a real impact on the water industry.
This project works collaboratively with UK water utilities and provides the student regular exposure to senior industry stakeholders, increasing employability on completion.
Features
- Students will benefit from being part of the EPSRC Centre for Doctoral Training in Water Infrastructure and Resilience (WIRe), a world leading collaboration between three UK universities.
- The Supressing Greenhouse Gases Emissions From Sewage Sludge Treatment - Supporting The Water Industry Meeting Net-zero programme at Cranfield University includes a bespoke training programme in technical and personal skills development, and provides opportunities for overseas travel and access to world leading experimental facilities (PhDs under this scheme are for a duration of four years full time).
Programme Structure
Curriculum:
- Cranfield University is a unique learning environment with world-class programmes, unrivalled facilities and close links with business, industry and governments, all combining to attract the best students and teaching staff from around the world.
- Research students at Cranfield benefit from being part of a dynamic, focused and professional study environment and all become valued members of the Cranfield Doctoral Network.
- This network brings together both research students and staff, providing a platform for our researchers to share ideas and collaborate in a multi-disciplinary environment.
