Description: Aerobic granular sludge bioreactors operating at laboratory scale pictured under stage-like illumination, featured photo by Nídia Lourenço, Copyright BERG-iBB 2017.

Context: BERG researchers led by Nídia Lourenço and Helena Pinheiro are developing aerobic granular sludge bioreactors as a next generation of wastewater treatment. Under particular focus is the purification of textile effluents bearing recalcitrant dyes and emerging pollutants such as engineered nanoparticles and microplastics. The work is being performed in the context of iBB's Strategic Area 2: Advanced Bioprocess Engineering. The reactors and associated laboratory equipment were the stage of a video feature commissioned by Instituto do Emprego e Formação Profissional promoting the profession of (bio)chemical laboratory technician.
