Biplob is a global expert in separation-based water and wastewater treatment, fatberg management, and resource recovery. His fatberg management research spans advanced grease interceptor design for effective fats, oils, and grease (FOG) removal, innovative coating technologies to prevent FOG deposition on sewer surfaces, and predictive modelling to identify high-risk locations. By integrating laboratory-scale testing, pilot demonstrations, and field trials, his work delivers practical solutions that reduce blockages, minimise maintenance costs, and extend the operational life of sewer networks.
Through our research, the WETT Centre is tackling global water challenges to ensure safe water for all by developing resilient water infrastructure, advancing nature-based treatment systems, and delivering sustainable, cost-effective environmental solutions. We invite you to join us in our mission to safeguard water as our most essential resource, advancing sustainable surface water management, reimagining wastewater as a source of valuable materials and energy, and driving innovation to accelerate the transition to a circular economy.
