METS
Microalgae eco-technological solutions
Applying ecological knowledge on nature-based solutions for improved water quality and valorization of resources
METS seeks to explore the potential of microalgae biodiversity and interactions for ecological and sustainable water and wastewater treatment therefore providing clean water, valorization of resources and safe solutions. We use modern ecological principles and theories to revolutionize the engineering challenges of microalgae technology design and operation worldwide.
