How wastewater utilities recover resources for revenue
Wastewater has a mix of organic and inorganic wastes that utilities across the country and globe treat and remove from incoming sewer flows to produce clean water that reenters the environment. As technology has improved, wastewater utilities have identified resources in wastewater that they can recover to repurpose for its own needs or repackage as a revenue stream, such as ammonium sulfate (shown in the thumbnail).
Eric Kadaj is senior director of market and applications development for Energy Recovery, a company that specializes in wastewater resource recovery. He explains how technologies and processes differ from industrial to municipal applications and the kinds of resources that are commonly recovered.
