Improved olive mill waste and wastewater management integrating circular economy for arid regions – Dr Abhishek Tiwary

This was a multi-stakeholder project collaboration, motivated by adoption of a “circular economy-driven systems approach” to delivering a sustainable solution to olive mill waste/wastewater (OMW) management with lower environmental burdens and energy demand, suiting arid regions in Jordan. It involved academics from the School of Engineering and Sustainable Development and School of Pharmacy, DMU and […]

Improving environmental performance of solid fuel heating system

Grant Awarded: £57,739.88 Funder: Innovate-UK, Defra-Small Business Research Initiative (2023) Key researchers: Abhishek Tiwary, Neil Brown and Dani Harmanto This Innovate-UK funded project developed an integrated solution to reduce pollutants resulting from domestic wood burning in indoor space (mainly particulate matter, PM and volatile organic carbons VOCs). The main highlight of our research is that […]

ENabling Hybrid Autonomous Nonconventional system for Clean Environment

Grant awarded: £63,888.05 PI: Abhisheck Tiwary Funder: RA Eng This 2-year industry fellowship project, awarded to Dr Abhishek Tiwary at DMU in partnership with JenAct Ltd – Jenton Group, conceptualised and evaluated a nonconventional air warming and cleaning system (EnHANCE), combining features of indoor air handling with pathogen removal and thermal management capabilities. It mainly […]

Enabling hybrid autonomous non-conventional system for cleaner indoor environment

Dr Abhishek Tiwary ENHANCE: Environmental legislation is pushing the space-heating market away from fossil fuels, while Covid-19 has made us keenly aware of the benefits of clean air. This project will conceptualise and develop a novel air warming and sanitising system, combining complementary capacities in ultraviolet (UVC) technology, air pollution control and heating. It will […]

Efficacy evaluation of a UVGI treatment unit in mitigating aerosol exposure in lifts and enclosed waiting spaces at a transport hub in Leicester

Grant awarded: £24,988.75 PI: Ahbishek Tiwary Funder: UKRI This is a proof-of-concept study towards developing a methodological capacity to assess the efficacy of an innovative air treatment unit (henceforth the EnHANCE system) in enclosed spaces. It is motivated by its potential deployment in public transport microenvironments such as lounge, lifts and stairways to simultaneously control […]

Integrating environmental technology solutions for developing a circular economy for olive mill waste system

Grant awarded: £79,964.00 PI: Abhishek Tiwary Funder: RA Eng Adopting a systems approach, this UK-Jordan capacity-building project aims to develop a scalable environmental technology solution for sustainable management of olive mill waste in Jordan. This is a collaboration between DMU and three Jordanian universities –  Al Balqa Applied University, University of Jordan and Jordan University […]
