This book reports on the ecological engineering of granular sludge
processes for a high-rate removal of carbon, nitrogen, and
phosphorus nutrients in compact wastewater treatment plants. It
provides novel insights into microorganisms and metabolisms in
wastewater microbiomes and the use of microbial ecology principles
to manage wastewater treatment processes. It covers a very
comprehensive and inter-disciplinary research of systems
microbiology and environmental biotechnology. From the initial
economic assessment of the aerobic granular sludge technology,
concepts of microbiome science and engineering are developed to
uncover and manage the microbial ecosystem of granular sludge.
Mixed-culture biotechnological processes, multifactorial
experimental designs, laser scanning microscopy, molecular
microbial ecology and bioinformatics methods, numerical ecology
workflows, and mathematical modelling are engaged to disentangle
granulation phenomena, microbial selection, and nutrient
conversions across scales. The findings are assembled in a
guideline for microbial resource management in granular sludge
processes to support knowledge utilization in engineering practice.
Outputs are integrated in the state of the art of biological
wastewater treatment. This book addresses both scientists and
engineers who are eager to get insights into and engineer
microbiomes for environmental biotechnologies. It makes a valuable
contribution to methods for strengthening the role of wastewater
treatment plants for recovering safe water and resources, in the
context of circular economy and for sustaining health and the
environment in an ecologically balanced society.
