Phytoremediation
Native macrophytes absorb and break down pollutants directly in water and sediment, enhanced by rhizospheric microbial action.
Biostimulation
Precision nutrient strategies — guided by molecular profiling — activate native microbial pathways to degrade contaminants.
Bioaugmentation
Spatially structured native microbial consortia engineered via iACME and LUME platforms for synergistic pollutant removal.
Biomaterials
Aerogels, biochar, and microencapsulation act as active barriers — trapping pollutants and supporting staged microbial release.
Phytoremediation
Native macrophytes such as Iris pseudacorus and Typha angustifolia absorb heavy metals, microplastics and organic pollutants from water and sediment. Their roots also support microbial communities that help break down contaminants. FLOWSAFE adapts phytoremediation to real flood conditions.
Biostimulation
FLOWSAFE uses metagenomics and metabarcoding to identify native microorganisms capable of degrading pollutants. Targeted nutrients and electron donors stimulate these communities to naturally break down pharmaceuticals, pesticides and persistent organic pollutants.
Bioaugmentation
The iACME platform identifies the most effective combinations of native microbial consortia for specific pollutants. The LUME platform structures them into aerobic and anaerobic microzones, supporting simultaneous organic pollutant degradation and metal immobilisation.
Biomaterials
Bio-based aerogels and biochar made from local biowaste capture pollutants, support microbial growth and enhance degradation. Microencapsulation enables controlled delivery of microbial consortia and biostimulants for stable, long-term remediation.
