The Riffat Lab specializes in innovative and sustainable wastewater treatment technologies focusing on anaerobic treatment of wastewater and biosolids, nutrient removal, and wastewater reuse.
OverviewProfessor Rumana Riffat's group is currently working on a number of sponsored research projects. These include evaluation of hydrolysis in high rate anaerobic digestion, carbon redirection in high rate activated sludge processes, and nutrient removal among others. Recent noteworthy project involved the development of a small scale sewage treatment and wastewater reuse system for a developing country.
