About us
Both water and energy are critical, mutually dependent resources?the production of energy requires large volumes of water and water infrastructure requires large amounts of energy. R&D Center of Core Technologies for Water Treatment is established to research and develop BT-IT-NT convergent technologies for energy-efficiently treat water and wastewater and commercialize them. In addition, it develop technologies to extract energy or resources from water and wastewater infrastructure. For this purpose, the center emphasizes academic publication, presentation, and lecturing activities regarding water treatment technologies. The center designs research projects to provide solutions to domestic and international water-energy nexus issues.
