Wastewater engineering laboratory in Hanyang University is conducting overall environmental research related to water and energy. The studies mainly focus on sewage/wastewater treatment using aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms, removal of nutrients and odors, organic waste treatment, water and sewage engineering, and management of non-point pollution sources.
In addition, we are actively working on resolving local environmental issues by closely cooperating with the “Ansan Green Environment Center”, which is an environmental organization in the Ansan area designated by the Ministry of Environment, located within the Hanyang University.

■ Research fields and facilities
1. Environmental Engineering Lab
The Environmental Engineering Lab is a space for the purpose of helping theoretical and experimental understanding of environmental subjects through physical/chemical analysis of environmental pollutants. This lab can measure and analyze various environmental pollutants based on process test methods and instrument analysis methods. Furthermore, this lab is equipped with basic environmental testing equipment such as spectrophotometer, microscope, pH/DO meter, water purification system, dry oven, and shaking incubator.
2. Water Engineering Lab
The water engineering laboratory is a space for the purpose of helping understanding the principle of biological removal of pollutants and treatment mechanisms through the operation and analysis of biological water treatment processes on a lab-scale. Various biological reactors are operated for the treatment of organic substances and other nutrients such as nitrogen/phosphorus using an aerobic/anaerobic treatment process system, and basic experimental equipment for water quality analysis has been established.
3. Environmental Analysis Lab
The Environmental Analysis Lab is co-operated by Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering and Ansan Green Environment Center, which has various specialized analyzers for the precise operation of environmental pollutant analysis.The devices include Gas Chromatography, Ion Chromatography, Total Organic Carbon Analyzer, Atomic Absorption Spectrometer, Clean Bench, and Phase Microscope.
