Treatment technologies form one of the core components of the “toolkit” that Environmental Engineers use to provide water of the quality needed for various purposes (often referred to as “fit for purpose” water), protect the environment, and extract resources from the water cycle. The Daigger Research Group builds on Dr. Daigger’s decades long experience developing and implementing treatment technologies and experience with higher performing water management systems to address real world treatment problems and further develop treatment technologies.
