Watch: Drinking Water Distribution Systems & Alternative Water Resources Webinar
Bringing together academics and industry members from the UK and Singapore, the ‘R&D and Innovation in the Water Sector’ webinar series aims to address problems relating to the water cycle, from source to tap, and expand on the innovations that have been developed to combat these issues.
This is a joint series from the National Biofilms Innovation Centre (NBIC), Singapore National Biofilm Consortium (SNBC), Singapore Membrane Consortium (SGMEM) and Singapore Centre for Environmental Life Sciences Engineering (SCELSE).
The first webinar focused on biofilms in the water distribution systems and membrane development for reverse osmosis (RO). Recordings of two of the talks are available to watch on this page. Slides from three of the presentations and the question and answers from the session are also available to download below.
