Biological Recovery of Water Resources

Fundamentals of Product Recovery from Municipal Wastewater Processing

With global rebranding of Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTWs) to Water Reclamation Facilities (WRFs), local municipalities are focused on optimizing the recovery of economically valuable products from wastewater processing. The primary products “manufactured” from processing raw municipal wastewater at WRFs include energy, crop fertilizer, soil conditioner and clean (i.e., recyclable) water.

CEL biologists and chemical engineers have captured the essence of this paradigm shift in this new (2023), recently released publication!
