The Kent Ridge Alumni Family Day (KRAFD) themed ‘Welcome Back!’ was held on 13th August 2022. Centre for Water Research (CWR) is pleased to host lab visit for NUS community and alumni. CWR lab visit started with welcome and opening remark from Prof Hu Jiangyong. Prof Hu introduced CWR’s latest research innovations and activities to the visitors.
Professor Hu Jiangyong delivers welcome speech
Deng Jinghui presented a Floating Gas Diffusion Electrode. In contrast to conventional electrodes, this novel electrode configuration is able to electro-generate H2O2 passively using O2 from the air without the need of forced aeration. These electrodes can be utilized for electro-disinfection and the mineralization of recalcitrant organic compounds.

Dr Liu Xiaochen presented his novel UV-LED water disinfection device. With the multi-wavelength configuration, this device can deliver 50% higher disinfection effectiveness and reduce the bacterial re-growth by 83%. This prototype has been installed in one of the local leading aquaculture companies for proof-of-concept validation.
