Water Management, Collaboration Request, Sustainable Water Reuse, Micropollutants,

ARBIOTEK Ltd. Co (www.arbiotek.com) is an R&D company at Selcuk University, Technology Development Zone, which is experienced in water management, water reuse and design and operation of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), Innovative Wastewater Treatment Technologies, Removal and Control of Contaminants of Emerging Concerns (CECs) in WWTPs. Since its establishment in 2006, ARBIOTEK has completed over 80 research projects for Ministries and Municipalities on wastewater management.

Dr Bilgehan Nas is Professor in the Dept. of Environmental Engineering at Konya Technical University (KTUN). He worked as visiting scientist at University of Minnesota, USA (2008-2009), funded by TUBITAK. He is the founder and CEO of Arbiotek. His research efforts have been focused on water management, wastewater treatment plant design and operation, sustainable water reuse, removal and control of contaminants of emerging concern in WWTPs. He has co-authored over 140 scientific publications /conference papers (H-Index: 15, Web of Sci). He
supervised 17 MSc and 5 PhD students. He coordinated more than 50 research projects supported by Municipalities, TUBITAK and Ministry of Environment, Urbanisation and Climate Change as team leader.
RESEARCH INTERESTS:
• Occurrence, removal and fate of micropollutants and their metabolites in urban WWTP
• Removal of micropollutants and their metabolites with pilot scale innovative treatment technologies (MMF, UV, UF, NF, RO, Ozone, SCWO)
• Transition of micropollutants and their metabolites to soil and plants in the reuse with the aim of agricultural irrigation.

We have experience in the PRIMA project and TUBITAK Project on the reuse of treated wastewater in agricultural irrigation.
We have a 100 m3/day capacity pilot-scale innovative wastewater treatment technologies (MMF, UV, AC, UF, UF + NF, RO, Ozone, SCWO), which we have established at the urban wastewater treatment plant.
We can perform micropollutant (pharmaceuticals) analysis with LC-MS/MS and GC-MS analytical instruments.
