1.1. Wastewater treatment
Public sewerage (like public drinking water supply) is a public utility service. From an environmental point of view, MATE considers it important to strive for the protection of surface water, groundwater and soil, the good quality of our waters, the preservation of their usability and the careful management of water resources. (This is also stated in the so-called Environmental Order - Környezetvédelmi Rend of the Szent István Campus, p. 13.)
The disposal of waste water
The wastewater generated by the Szent István Campus is discharged to a public sewage treatment plant. The pollutant content of the wastewater generated depends on the technology used, the type and quantity of materials used and discharged into the wastewater. (In: Environmental Order - Környezetvédelmi Rend of the Szent István Campus, p. 13.)
As the following example presents MATE has taking an active role in projects and research which aims to innovate the wastewater aftertreatment:
Hungarian-Chinese innovation for wastewater aftertreatment
A collaboration between Hungarian and Chinese researchers has developed a more efficient technology than ever before for the after-treatment of wastewater. The innovative process involves irradiating the effluent of a wastewater treatment plant with accelerated electron beams, which can greatly reduce the toxicity of the wastewater. The research project also involved the MATE Institute of Food Science and Technology.
