You know what is MBR?
MBR is the acronym of membrane bioreactor is a type of tool connected to the investigation of ceramic membranes.
Many fields of research on membranes, and many scholars engaged in research. Professor Pagilla is one of the leading exponents, will give some lectures in the CEIT (Centro de Estudios e Investigaciones de Guipuzcoa, Centre for Studies and Research of Gipuzkoa, in English).
Professor Pagilla is interested in physicochemical and biological methods of water pollution control. His current research is in developing sustainable technologies for nutrient control, aerobic and anaerobic membrane bioreactors for wastewater treatment, and improving bacteria for bioremediation of organic pollutants. Other work related to remediation of soil contaminated by organics and metals is also being pursued in his laboratory.

Restore Our Environment with Biosphere Technology
The destruction of our environment is just as devastating as today’s worldwide poverty. Effects of this ecological disaster are tragic floods in various places particularly in highly urbanized areas and extinction of our wildlife. The environment that serves as habitat is gradually ruined due to continuous industrialization, inefficient garbage disposal, conversion of forests to agricultural landmarks, and oil and coal exploitation. But, take a closer look of this situation, all the causes of environment deterioration are merely for human consumption. If we have the capacity to destroy the environment, so, too, we have the capacity to conserve and restore it.
We can restore the already deteriorating environment even in our own simple ways. If in our own house, we keep everything clean and safe so we could live comfortably, we can do the same with our planet. It is our home that we need to clean and protect. What is essential right now is that we find methods that could help in restoring our environment. Use of renewable energy and reforestation projects could mean a lot to resolve this environmental problem. We could rely on green technologies such as the biosphere technology which converts waste materials into clean green energy.
