Internship: Development of a pollution measurement system based on multispectral cameras
The International Research Center on Water and Environment (CIRSEE) of SUEZ, multinational corporation specializing in water and waste management services, in collaboration with Eawag, the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology, offers an internship in the development of an innovative pollution measurement system.

Wastewater pollution monitoring
Urban drainage systems (UDS) play a vital role in the evacuation of wastewater and rainwater to treatment plants, while also being major carriers of pollutants such as heavy metals, microplastics, and fecal bacteria. Improving the management of UDS is a major challenge, involving the development of more efficient sensors for real-time pollution measurement. At the International Research Center on Water and Environment (CIRSEE) of SUEZ, new technologies are being tested to develop the future of UDS monitoring.

The main objective of this internship is to advance in the development of a non-invasive optical methods for rapid and accurate measurement of pollution. While previous tests have demonstrated the potential of multispectral cameras to measure a wide range of pollutants, challenges remain regarding their installation in UDS. How to manage the impact of turbulence on measurements? How to account for variations in water level in the measurement? The intern will be responsible for planning and carrying out a number of experiments at the Carré de Réunion research site in the Paris region in order to address these important questions.
