Description

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.

Dr. Cetecioglu is Asscoiate Professor in the Department of Chemical Engineering-KTH, Sweden. Her research has centered on resource recovery from wastewater by combining wastewater engineering and molecular microbiology ecology. She applied her knowledge recently is carbon neutral wastewater treatment plants, which has attracted a huge amount of interest during recent years due to the potential of turning waste into resources and for the potential of securing a future supply of bio-based products. She is developing resource recovery units which are exchangeable in existing wastewater treatment plants in one of her ongoing projects, CarbonNextGen. This project has recently been listed in the top 100 projects by the Swedish Royal Academy of Engineering Sciences. There is still a lot of work required to develop environmentally and economically sustainable processes capable of closing the circular economy loop and turning waste into resources. She has contributed more than 80 publications to leading international peer‐reviewed journals, conference proceedings, and books. One of the books to which she contributed was awarded by Turkish Academy of Science and this book is still used as course material in universities. She is member of both IWA and ISME and she is the leader of Circular economy Cluster at KTH Water Center.
