METS
Microalgae eco-technological solutions
Understanding the ecology of microalgae cultivation on wastewater for improved photobioreactors
METS seeks to explore the potential of microalgae biodiversity for ecological and sustainable water and wastewater treatment therefore providing full recovery of resources and safe sanitation for all. We use modern ecological principles and theories to revolutionize the engineering challenges of microalgae technology design and operation worldwide.
