About CLEMANCE
Industry and the public sector are under increasing legislative and public pressure to improve environmental performance. The Clean Environment Management Centre – CLEMANCE - challenges the idea that environmental protection is a financial burden on industry by providing clean technology solutions to environmental problems.
Business support
The Clean Technology approach avoids pollution before it occurs. Many companies have discovered it can provide significant competitive advantage through reduced costs, product differentiation and improved public relations. We aim to support the development of Clean Technology to improve the competitiveness of industry and benefit people and their environment.
Research
CLEMANCE is the environmental research centre of Teesside University. Research projects have included Mapping Industrial Symbiosis in North East England. We have a dedicated molecular biology research laboratory equipped for anaerobic digestion, bioremediation studies, enrichment, isolation, identification and cultivation of microbial associations and monocultures, and bioreactor facilities including multi-stage configurations. A range of microecophysiological facilities for the study of soils, sediments and domestic and industrial wastewaters are also available.
