NSERC Senior Industrial Research Chair in Advancing Treatment and Reducing Risk

滑铁卢大学的NSERC水处理主席是一个专业知识中心 在水中 待遇和质量。主席的使命是进行前沿，从根本上说，但 对与水处理和水质有关的关键问题进行务实的研究。我们 研究重点是解决我们资金的短期到中期需求的工作 合作伙伴，包括参与治疗的市政当局、顾问和行业， 提供水。 本报告概述了在主席任期五年期间（2013-2017年）进行的研究 在NSERC和我们的合作伙伴的支持下，我们将测量和优化水的性能， 在减少对公共卫生的风险方面， 我们为第五届主席任期确定了三个主要研究主题，分别是： A.基于风险的决策，这将开发工具，公用事业可以用来评估和 根据已确定的健康风险量化治疗。 B。推进处理，其中包括了解和优化生物过滤的研究， 膜过滤、化学污染物去除和常规处理性能。 C.可持续的水系统，将调查潜在的应用和战略， 市水务 重用.

The NSERC Chair in Water Treatment at the University of Waterloo functions as a centre of expertise in water treatment and quality. The Chair's mission is to conduct leading edge, fundamentally based, yet practically oriented research on critical issues related to water treatment and quality. Our research emphasis is on work that addresses the short- to medium-term needs of our funding partners, which include municipalities, consultants and industry involved in the treatment and provision of water. Research conducted over the five year period (2013-2017) of the Chair term as outlined in this proposal and supported by NSERC and our partners will measure and optimize the performance of water treatment systems in terms of reduced risk to public health. We have defined three major research themes for the 5th Chair term, which are: A. Risk-based Decision Making, which will develop tools that utilities can use for assessing and quantifying treatment in terms of identified health risks. B. Advancing Treatment, which includes research on understanding and optimizing biofiltration, membrane filtration, chemical contaminant removal, and conventional treatment performance. C. Sustainable Water Systems, which will investigate potential applications and strategies for municipal water reuse.
