Still, a flagship facility that I had the pleasure to design and operate. The largest constructed wetland in the world treating the oily produced water from oilfields. Current capacity 175,000 m²/day, with an area of 500 hectares. A unique nature-based system! thesourcemagazine.org/expansion-fo...

Expansion for Oman's flagship industrial constructed wetland - The Source

A third phase is just being completed at the Nimr Water Treatment Plant in Oman, expanding what is already the largest industrial constructed wetland facility in the world. The plant provides an alter...

New study: #biochar produced from #sunflower husk was tested at different dosages as #soilamendment to grow Spirodela polyrhiza. This biomass acts as a growth-stimulating material, indicating its use as an environmentally safe, waste-derived fertilizer. Free access: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

It was a great month in Sicily! Lots of thanks to my Colleagues and Friends Profs Giuseppe Luigi Cirelli and Feliciana Licciardello for hosting me as Visiting Professor at the Department of Agriculture, Food and Environmenta, University of Catania! www.unictmagazine.unict.it/dalla-fitode...

Ηonour to be Visiting Professor at the Università di Catania in Italy. With the group of Prof Giuseppe Cirelli, we always try to strengthen our collaboration, and explore new opportunites in ecological engineering, water and wastewater management, nature-based solutions, and water reuse.

New study: reuse of treated oilfield produced water for irrigation of forage grasses. Effect of soil types, biochar and gypsum as soil amendments and water sources and the accumulation-translocation of boron in the soil-plant system. www.mdpi.com/2223-7747/15...

Excited for this new funding that allows us to purchase a state-of-the-art 𝐔𝐇𝐏𝐋𝐂-𝐌𝐒/𝐒 system that detects various micropollutants in water (e.g. pharmaceuticals, PFAS, pesticides, herbicides, etc.) at very low levels. The funding was provided by the Hellenic Foundation for Research & Innovation. 📟💯
