The model for clean water agencies is changing rapidly to align with the emerging global need to recover vital resources. With ever-increasing pressures on increasingly limited environmental resources, it is critical to implement the recovery of resources (water, nutrients, and energy) from waste streams. Moving Toward Resource Recovery Facilities makes the case for moving away from waste streams and moving toward value streams.
Providing an overview of the fundamental drivers for resource recovery from wastewater, Moving Toward Resource Recovery Facilities discusses state-of-the-art technological approaches to resources recovery and offers guidance on the applicability of recovery technologies for a cross-section of facility types. This book is a starting point for evaluating, planning, and implementing your resource recovery projects, allowing your facility to take steps toward recycling a greater number of otherwise lost resources.
