With the World Biogas Expo at the NEC, Birmingham, on 8–9 July, recent research and industry developments highlight the role of renewable biofertilisers, notably digestate, in agriculture and food production, and the need for proper handling and processing.Digestate’s environmental and nutrient value exceeds €1 billion per year, according to the European Biogas Association (EBA). ...
In practice, this can translate to generating biogas for energy, reclaiming treated water for reuse, or capturing nutrient-rich streams for agricultural use.The broader beverage industry is increasingly pursuing water reuse and nutrient recovery. ...
In some configurations, recuperative thickening can be integrated with side-stream nutrient recovery systems such as Fluence’s FOSTREX struvite recovery technology, further enhancing overall plant stability. ...
Benefits include better digestion and nutrient absorption, improved gut integrity, more consistent energy release, and enhanced immune support. ...
Location: Banana Plantation, Guatemala Background: Typical of most banana plantations, this operation left plant litter such as leaves and stalks on the floor of the banana stand in order to decompose and return nutrients to the soil to support new growth. However, it takes significant time for this litter to decompose or "compost" slowing the availability of needed ...
From Waste to Resource: Energy and Material Recovery Another defining trend is the pursuit of energy and resource recovery from wastewater. ...
For industrial parks, treatment solutions can transform wastewater from a liability into a valuable resource For decades, industrial parks have looked at wastewater treatment as just another unavoidable expense, a by-product of manufacturing to be managed, regulated, and disposed of. But that mindset is changing quickly. With growing water scarcity, increasing environmental pressures, and a ...
Retrofitting many types of anaerobic digesters with this technology can fundamentally shift the plant’s dynamics Anaerobic digesters are central to turning high-strength organic waste into valuable by-products like biomethane and stabilized biosolids. Yet despite the widespread use of anaerobic digestion, many existing systems underperform, often due to limited biomass control, outdated ...
Every year, millions of tons of food is wasted across the globe. In the UK alone, an estimated 9.5 million tonnes of food go to waste annually, costing businesses and households billions. This staggering amount of waste not only impacts finances but also contributes significantly to environmental degradation. Addressing this issue requires strategic food waste management solutions ...
The reuse of treated effluents emerges as a strategic approach that not only enables water reuse but also facilitates the recovery of valuable raw material The global water crisis and the increasing demand for sustainable practices call for innovative solutions. According to the Ellen MacArthur Foundation, circular economy strategies could potentially cut carbon emissions by 40% by 2050 when ...
Treatment offers environmental and economic benefits Digestate, a byproduct of wastewater treatment, plays a pivotal role in nutrient management and waste disposal. Technologies are available for treating digestate to maximize both environmental and economic ...
It seemed like an ordinary day. Then, **Advanced treatment processes for sustainable wastewater** emerged as the hero we didn’t know we needed. Imagine a world where every drop of water tells a story of transformation and hope. That’s the reality these advanced systems are creating. Gone are the days when treating wastewater was just about removing visible impurities. Nowadays, it ...
Imagine a world where every drop of water is treated as the precious resource it is. Now, consider the challenge many municipalities face: treating wastewater efficiently without breaking the bank. The answer? Cost-effective municipal wastewater treatment solutions. Municipalities are constantly under pressure to meet regulatory standards and serve their communities sustainably. But ...
Throughout history, humanity has needed the resources provided by nature to evolve as a society and pursue greater well-being. From nature, we obtain raw materials that, through various artisanal or industrial processes, become the basic and essential inputs consumed as products or services by the majority of society. However, these natural resources are in danger due to the impact of human ...
Water treatment companies treat any wastewater entering their facilities, but large volumes of stormwater can overwhelm pipe capacities and treatment facilities during heavy rainfall and capacity events. Excess water then bypasses treatment and discharges directly into waterways through release points known as combined sewage overflows (CSOs), causing river and ocean pollution plaguing ...
Picture this: it’s 2024, and water is still the lifeblood of our communities and industries. But now, we’re steering through some rough currents. From battling extreme weather to hacking threats that can shut down supply in a heartbeat, managing water resources has become like navigating a storm. We will take a look into the 2024 emerging water & wastewater trends that will shape ...
However, the process generates a byproduct called biogas slurry, which is rich in nutrients but also high in water content. Managing this slurry efficiently is crucial for reducing transportation costs, controlling odors, and maximizing the benefits of nutrient-rich byproducts. ...
This innovative technology offers numerous benefits for dairy farms:1. Nutrient Concentration: The separator efficiently separates solids from liquids, allowing farmers to concentrate and capture valuable nutrients in the solid fraction. This nutrient-rich material can be used as organic fertilizer, reducing the need for chemical fertilizers and ...
The project’s ambition goes beyond the simple recovery of nutrients, but to provide economically viable and environmentally sustainable alternatives to mineral fertilizers with the same or improved agronomic value. ...
It is now known what the current status of freshwater all around the globe as well as in India is. Our country can face a water risk situation with rapid modernization, urbanization, and poor water management. Now, what exactly does water management/ water resource management mean? What are its objectives? Who are the stakeholders contributing to these water management projects/schemes? Let us ...
