High-Value Bioenergy Recovery from Wastewater presents the science and technologies behind high-value liquid, colloid and solid bioenergy recovery in municipal sewage treatment plants, thus allowing for the easy collection, storage, and transportation of recovered bioenergy. Broken into four parts, the book addresses potential high-value bioenergy from sewage, the science behind and technical module related to high-value liquid bioenergy recovery and high-value colloid and solid bioenergy recovery, and concludes with integrated modules for high-value bioenergy recovery. Academic and industry researchers working in bioenergy, scientists and engineers working in the treatment of wastewater, and industry practitioners who are interested in adding value to the sewage and the sludge obtained in the treatment of wastewater will benefit from this reference, as will advanced graduate and post-graduate students interested in bioenergy and wastewater treatment.
