Making use of treated wastewater is a basic pillar to foster a more rational use of water. Not only is it a source of water but also of other resources, such as energy, nutrients and other added value products. This approach falls into the scope of the circular economy, which fosters a more sustainable use of natural resources.
Next December, the DAM Chair for Comprehensive Management and Recovery of Wastewater Resources at Valencia University is holding a conference on making use of wastewater as a source of resources in the city of Valencia.
Our colleague, Thomas Dietrich, will give a talk on Volatile, an initiative led by TECNALIA, to raise awareness of the development of an innovative platform for the biotransformation of organic waste into volatile fatty acids.
