International Webinar to Address Advanced Solutions in Gray Water Treatment

With the participation of one of the world's leading researchers in water resource decontamination, the Greywater Reuse Project (GWR) will hold its third international webinar, entitled “Greywater Treatment and Emerging Contaminants: Advanced Solutions and Regulations.”
In a context where the GWR Project has fostered innovation and international academic collaboration to address the consequences of climate change on the water supply, the webinar will provide an opportunity to learn about advances in greywater treatment from Dr. Adel Ali Al-Gheethi. Dr. Al-Gheethi is a researcher at the University of Newcastle in Australia and a partner at CRC CARE (Centre for Contamination Assessment and Remediation of the Environment).
Dr. Ricardo Abejón, an Usach academic and the deputy director of the GWR Project, emphasizes the significance of this webinar in complementing the research being conducted in our country. "Having Professor Al-Gheethi participate is a great opportunity to learn firsthand about the proposed technologies for treating emerging contaminants in gray water produced in our homes."
Dr. Abejón says, "We are increasingly concerned about the presence of contaminants from medicines, cleaning products, and cosmetics. Although these contaminants are found in low concentrations, they can cause serious environmental problems. If we want to reuse graywater, as our project proposes, we must consider treating these emerging contaminants. This webinar will give us the opportunity to learn from the speaker's experience and improve the configuration of our process."
Pioneering solutions
With a career spanning more than two decades, Professor Al-Gheethi has led innovative projects that have transformed the management and reuse of wastewater, promoting environmentally safe and efficient processes. His research has explored using microorganisms to decontaminate and biodegrade toxic compounds, providing pioneering solutions in the field of bioremediation.
He has focused his work on applied research, seeking solutions to mitigate the environmental impact of human activities through improved resource management and the development of sustainable practices. He has published over a hundred papers on these topics, which can be accessed via the Publications page
Thanks to his extensive research, Dr Al-Gheethi has received various awards and distinctions for his contributions to environmental engineering and applied microbiology.
The webinar featuring Dr Al-Gheethi will take place on Friday 29 November at 10 a.m. via Zoom and will offer simultaneous translation. Participation is open to all interested parties, with free registration available at Internatinal Webinar
