The project proposes an integrated, sustainable, and scalable solution for the removal of per‑ and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from water systems under a One Health framework. Our approach combines advanced adsorption materials, green catalytic degradation, and real‑time monitoring technologies to create a complete and environmentally responsible treatment chain capable of addressing both legacy PFAS and emerging compounds.

CONTATRAP is a floating, energy-free treatment system that uses layered double hydroxide (LDH) composites to remove nitrogen, phosphorus, and heavy metals directly from Black Sea waters. The innovation integrates pollutant removal with controlled regeneration and nutrient recovery, enabling a low-cost, circular, and scalable solution for regional water quality improvement.

This project introduces a cost-effective and adaptable technology to reduce microplastics in treated municipal wastewater, to be piloted at Samsun Arıtma A.Ş. The project builds on prior academic research demonstrating the presence of microplastics in treated wastewater in Türkiye. 

This project develops floating and retrievable bio beads designed to simultaneously remove excess nutrients and heavy metals from coastal waters. The system is based on natural mineral and biopolymer components and operates as a low energy and environmentally compatible remediation approach.

This project proposes the establishment of algal cultivation (Algal Bioremediation) systems in drainage channels. Algae, through their natural biological processes, are ideal agents for reducing the nutrient load originating from agricultural areas and accumulating in drainage waters. During their rapid growth, algae assimilate excess Nitrogen (N) and Phosphorus (P) compounds from the water into their cellular structures and utilize them in their metabolism.
