Researchers from the Department of Civil Engineering at the University of British Columbia are requesting funds for a much-needed upgrade and refurbishment of their existing wastewater treatment pilot plant. There is a large (and growing) group of researchers working in this area at UBC (mostly in Civil Engineering, as well as in Chemical and Biological Engineering and in Microbiology and Immunology) as environmentally friendly, sustainable, new "clean/green" technologies have become a major focus. Since the initiation of pilot scale research at UBC in 1981, a total of over 70 graduate students (1/3 PhD's have been involved in research investigations (directly or indirectly), making use of this unique Canadian facility. The applicants are requesting funding to refurbish and upgrade the UBC Pilot Plant, as many of the existing components are old and tired, or completely non-functional. A refurbished wastewater treatment research facility would allow researchers to maintain and expand their environmental engineering R&D work in areas where pilot scale demonstration studies are required for technology development or commercialization. The applicants have worked together previously on projects involving the UBC Pilot Plant, and will continue to do so, using the Pilot Plant as a common user facility.

英属哥伦比亚大学土木工程系的研究人员正在申请资金，对他们现有的污水处理试验工厂进行急需的升级和翻新。随着环境友好、可持续、新的“清洁/绿色”技术成为主要焦点，在UBC有一个庞大的（并且不断增长的）研究小组在这一领域工作（主要是土木工程，以及化学和生物工程以及微生物学和免疫学）。自1981年UBC启动试点规模研究以来，共有70多名研究生（1/3博士）利用这一独特的加拿大设施（直接或间接）参与研究调查。申请人正在申请资金来翻新和升级UBC试点工厂，因为许多现有的组件都是旧的和疲惫的，或者完全没有功能。翻新的废水处理研究设施将使研究人员能够在技术开发或商业化需要中试规模示范研究的领域维持和扩大其环境工程研发工作。申请人以前曾在涉及UBC试点工厂的项目中合作，并将继续这样做，使用试点工厂作为共同用户设施。
