Clean Energy and Resource Recovery: Volume 2: Wastewater Treatment Plants as Bio-refineries summarizes the fundamentals of various treatment modes applied to the recovery of energy and value-added products from wastewater treatment plants. The book addresses the production of biofuel, heat, and electricity, chemicals, feed, and other products from municipal wastewater, industrial wastewater, and sludge. Readers are provided with up-to-date information on the recovery of biofuels and other value-added products using conventional methods and new and advanced technological developments, as well as solutions to key problems, and step-by-step guidance on the implementation of processes and procedures. Moreover, related issues like the safe disposal of leftovers are also considered, from a local to global scale, and how wastewater treatment facilities reduce stress on energy systems, decrease air and water pollution, build resiliency, and drive local economic activity. As a compliment to Volume 2: Wastewater Treatment Plants as Bio-refineries is a comprehensive reference on all aspects of energy and resource recovery from wastewater and is an invaluable tool for energy researchers, environmental scientists, and civil, chemical, and municipal engineers interested in waste-to-energy.
