The anaerobic process is considered to be a sustainable technology
for organic waste treatment mainly due to its lower energy
consumption and production of residual solids coupled with the
prospect of energy recovery from the biogas generated. However, the
anaerobic process cannot be seen as providing the 'complete'
solution as its treated effluents would typically not meet the
desired discharge limits in terms of residual carbon, nutrients and
pathogens. This has given impetus to subsequent post treatment in
order to meet the environmental legislations and protect the
receiving water bodies and environment. This book discusses
anaerobic treatment from the perspective of organic wastes and
wastewaters (municipal and industrial) followed by various
post-treatment options for anaerobic effluent polishing and
resource recovery. Coverage will also be from the perspective of
future trends and thoughts on anaerobic technologies being able to
support meeting the increasingly stringent disposal standards. The
resource recovery angle is particularly interesting as this can
arguably help achieve the circular economy. It is intended the
information can be used to identify appropriate solutions for
anaerobic effluent treatment and possible alternative approaches to
the commonly applied post-treatment techniques. The succeeding
discussion is intended to lead on to identification of
opportunities for further research and development. This book can
be used as a standard reference book and textbook in universities
for Master and Doctoral students. The academic community relevant
to the subject, namely faculty, researchers, scientists, and
practicing engineers, will find the book both informative and as a
useful source of successful case studies.
Clean Energy and Resources Recovery: Biomass Waste Based
Biorefineries, Volume One presents the technological options for
energy and resources recovery from all types of organic wastes. The
book addresses municipal and industrial sludges, municipal solid
waste, agro-residue, animal wastes, industrial waste, forestry
residue, and algal biomass, and provides a global overview of
biomass waste production, waste handling issues and related GHG
emissions and climate change, legislative waste management
guidelines, biomass composition, and conventional methods for
biomass waste treatment. For each biomass waste, chapters cover
energy and bio-based products recovery, pre-treatment methods,
process microbiology, community dynamics, co-digestion, reactor
design and configuration, and techno-economic evaluation. Case
studies on upscaling technology and pilot and industry scale
implementation are included, alongside step-by-step calculations
that integrate practical field data and regulatory requirements
into the environmental design process. Finally, future trends and
developments in advanced biotechnological concepts for biomass
waste processing and management are also discussed.
The book aims to analyse and discuss the conventional and emerging
treatments of digestate generated in the anaerobic treatment of
organic waste. Thus, in the circular economy framework, the book
will address up-to-date strategies for the treatment and resource
recovery from anaerobic digestate. Anaerobic digestion is an
expanding technology nowadays, especially when considering the
thrust in ongoing research on the value-added products and energy
recovery from biomass wastes, i.e., sludges, agro-industrial waste,
animal waste, food waste and organic fraction of municipal solid
waste, etc. Anaerobic digestate is a leftover and waste management
authorities across the world do not have so many options for
digestate management except using the digestate for land
application as a fertilizer or composting. However, researchers and
field engineers are still looking for robust options for digestate
management. Thus, a timely book on digestate management will be an
invaluable addition to this domain. The key features of the book
include: the broad range of biomass waste covered, discussion of
conventional to advanced technological options, and the inclusion
of successful case studies.
Sludge Management provides up-to-date information on sludge
treatment, reuse and disposal. A comprehensive coverage of all
issues related to sludge management is included with local through
global coverage of all sludge management practices. Conventional to
advanced technologies for sludge management with available case
studies from both developing and developed countries are covered in
this book. Given the responsibility of engineers to develop the
technological tools to meet the increasingly stricter standards for
sludge treatment and disposal, the main attraction of the book
principally relies on its technical content that reviews all the
points to be considered in sludge management from engineering and
technological perspectives. Sludge Management can be used for
planning, designing, and implementing waste sludge management
projects. Moreover, this book can be used as a standard textbook in
Universities for Master and Doctoral students. Also, academics,
researchers, scientists, and practicing engineers working in the
field of sludge management would find the book very informative and
a source of interesting case studies.

Sustainable Treatment Technologies for Pre- and Poly-flourakyl
Substances provides comprehensive details about per- and
poly-fluroalkyls substances (PFASs), which are highly toxic and
bio-accumulative substances that do not biodegrade easily or cannot
be neutralized under normal environmental conditions. It discusses
their occurrence in water, wastewater, and aquatic environment,
their bioaccumulation in plants, environmental impacts and various
remedial technologies for their treatment and management. All the
chapters provide state-of-art information about PFASs, describing
their identification methods, characterization and present critical
analysis of the treatment methods such as physical, chemical,
biological, hybrid and advanced systems. This book is a ready
reference for the environmental engineers, municipal engineers,
environmental practitioners, policy makers, and planners; it is
also a practical guide for industrial engineers, government bodies
and ecologists as well as for researchers.
Clean Energy and Resource Recovery: Wastewater Treatment Plants as
Bio-refineries, Volume 2, 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. It intends to provide the readers an account of
up-to-date information on the recovery of biofuels and other
value-added products using conventional and advanced technological
developments. The book starts with identifying the key problems of
the sectors and then provides solutions to them with step-by-step
guidance on the implementation of processes and procedures. Titles
compiled in this book further explore related issues like the safe
disposal of leftovers, from a local to global scale. Finally, the
book sheds light on 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 1: Biomass Waste Based Biorefineries, Clean Energy and
Resource Recovery, Volume 2: Wastewater Treatment Plants as
Bio-refineries is a comprehensive reference on all aspects of
energy and resource recovery from wastewater. The book is going to
be a handy reference tool for energy researchers, environmental
scientists, and civil, chemical, and municipal engineers interested
in waste-to-energy.
