- The paper proposes a novel solution to detect changes in the conditioning and dewatering of digestates by use of shear viscosity as a parameter, which have led to significant savings guidance for Dwr Cymru Welsh Water (DCWW). The work was pivotal in drawing together international collaboration (Dr. Mohammad Abu-Orf, mabuorf@hazenandsawyer.com) in this area. The work continued and strengthened relationships with industry (DCWW) which contributed to further PhD students funded by the ESF – Welsh Government funded KESSII program with DCWW, and the £1M ERDF – Welsh Government ‘SMART Expertise’ funded SMART Circle which includes DCWW as a partner.
