Surface & Circular Processing (SCP) Group

SCPT

Introduction

The Surface & Circular Processing (SCP) group focuses on innovating process technologies and capabilities to enable a distributed approach for resource circularity. Other than developing processes and systems for waste-to-resource management, the group looks to collaborate extensively to co-develop and drive processes to close the loop in the manufacturing value chain.

Focus Research Areas:

  • Resource Segregation and Reconditioning
  • Water & Wastewater Processing
