RESEARCH FACILITIES
 

 
 

In 2004 the Environmental Engineering Research Laboratories moved to a new building. The new building includes approximately 13,000 square feet of laboratory space devoted to research activities as well as offices for graduate students. This space is well-equipped with analytical instrumentation and includes:

Instructional laboratories for aquatic chemistry, environmental microbiology, and environmental engineering process design (in Marston Hall).

Specialized research laboratories, bench scale apparatus for studying water and wastewater treatment processes, and biological reactors for studying aerobic and anaerobic treatment processes, and general microbiological and chemical equipment. Groundwater research laboratory capabilities include transport test stands for column degradation studies and soil microcosm analysis. Water resources computational laboratory capabilities include high speed computers, graphical display capabilities and a software library suitable for the modeling, design and management of water resource systems.

Analytical and Process Equipment available in the research laboratories include the following categories of instruments: General Laboratory Equipment, Process Equipment, Equipment For Sample Preparation, Electrochemistry, Spectroscopy, Chromatography, and numerous other instruments, including field instrumentation such as portable gas chromatographs.

Computing facilities are available for a wide variety of computational and spatial analysis environmental applications.
