Description
*NEW*
Municipal wastewater treatment systems are under increasing pressure to improve performance while maintaining costs. At the same time, wastewater is also a valuable resource that contains various beneficial products that can provide much sought after extra funds. These include inorganic and materials, nutrients and other various forms of energy.
Wastewater can be considered a poorly labeled resource. Understanding valuable properties of wastewater is required to shift our attitude towards wastewater.
Understanding the status of technology and having the tools in recovering these valuable resources from wastewater, will empower operators not only to protect the environment and reduce the environmental footprint but also to make wastewater treatment more affordable and in some cases profitable.
