Innovations in Cost-effective Industrial and Municipal Wastewater Treatment

This edition of the Industrial Bioprocessing Technology Opportunity Engine (TOE) features information on the generation of bio-cosmetics, bio-fertilizers, and bio-packaging materials using purple phototropic bacteria to treat municipal wastewater. The TOE also features the development of multi-stage recirculating wetland systems for treating industrial and municipal wastewater. Trends and innovations associated with the use of novel processes for cellulose recovery from municipal wastewater and the use of the combination of anaerobic processes and wetland management for enabling a circular economy in water management are also covered. The TOE also provides intelligence on the use of tubular horizontal semi-closed reactors for the treatment of wastewater and the cost-effective recovery of bio-composites and enhanced efficiency fertilizers from municipal and industrial wastewater. The TOE additionally provides insights on the use of enclosed anaerobic ponds for wastewater treatment and bio-gas production. Furthermore, the TOE provides intelligence on the use of wetland roofs for decentralized grey-water treatment.

The Industrial Bioprocessing TOE provides intelligence on technologies, processes and strategic insights of industries involving bioprocessing, including innovations in the development and production of chemicals, pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, alternative fuels, chemical feedstocks, food and beverages, and consumer products.
