🚨 New Publication Alert | Turning Wastewater into a Green Resource! 🌱💧 We're excited to share our latest scientific article: “Indigenous microalgae consortium for producing safe reclaimed water and bio-fertilisers. Batch tests for replication, scale-up and legislative analysis” Now available in Algal Research 🧪 🔗 Read the article: https://lnkd.in/d_jFBrUq This study explores the use of native microalgae to treat sewage, producing safe reclaimed water and bio-based fertilisers , offering a sustainable, low-cost alternative to conventional treatment methods. 🔍 Key highlights: ✔️ Primary effluent showed higher productivity than secondary ✔️ Adding <30% centrate improved nutrient levels without negative effects ✔️ Process costs: only €0.081–0.098 per m³ — a cost-effective solution ✔️ Treated water met Spanish standards for agricultural, industrial, and environmental reuse ✔️ The study identifies and addresses regulatory challenges for algae-based fertilisers This work supports the circular bioeconomy, transforming wastewater from waste into a valuable resource , safely, efficiently, and sustainably. 👥 Authors: Josué González Camejo, Anna Laura Eusebi, Francesco Fatone, Maria Paches #WaterReuse #Microalgae #BioFertiliser #SustainableWater #AlgalResearch #GreenTech #CircularEconomy #ReclaimedWater #UNIVPM #WastewaterTreatment #EnvironmentalEngineering #NatureBasedSolutions #Innovation #BlueGreenInfrastructure #CostEffectiveSustainability #WWEELab 

📰 New Publication Alert | Advancing Sustainable Resource Recovery from Sewage Sludge! We’re excited to share our latest article: “Resource recovery strategies and schemes: A regional case study on sewage sludge hub centres in Italy” Published in the Journal of Water Process Engineering Read here : https://lnkd.in/dxuGWTmE This study investigates the sustainability and environmental impact of a centralised sludge treatment hub serving 52 municipalities and 500,000 residents in Treviso, Italy. Key contributions: ♻️ Evaluation of sludge quality and potential for safe reuse ⚙️ Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of valorisation pathways: compost, biogas, phosphorus salts & biopolymers (PHA) 🌍 Results show phosphorus and PHA recovery as the most sustainable option – reducing emissions equivalent to 176 people per day! This research, rooted in the Horizon 2020 SMART-Plant project, provides a replicable model for non-metropolitan areas striving for safe and efficient sludge valorisation, in line with the new Sewage Sludge Directive.
