Wastewater Treatment Residues as Resources for Biorefinery Products and Energy

Wastewater Treatment Residues as Resources for Biorefinery Products and Biofuels reviews wastewater treatment processes with a view towards the use of residues. The viability of end use processes for residues such as incineration, cement additives, agricultural fertilizers, and methane production are reviewed and analyzed. The book introduces new processes for the use of residues within a fuels production system, such as pyrolysis, hydrothermal liquefaction and syngas, providing a review of technologies within these processes and analyzing their viability and productivity within scenarios optimized towards the use of residues. The final section of the book deals with newer concepts in the development of additional biomass through the treatment and removal of N/P components in wastewaters using algae. This final section dedicates two chapters towards processes for fractionation of biomass, most importantly biomass from wastewater residues, as this may likely be a critical step towards the development of specialized products. Two additional chapters are dedicated towards the production of specialized compounds from volatile fatty acids that conceptually proceed from the anaerobic acidogenisis of residues, along with the production of poly-hydroxy-alkonate (PHA) bioplastics. Finally this section ends with a final analysis of the overall productivity and viability that can be expected from these more innovative, yet focused production schemes.
