Wastewater treatment plays a pivotal role in the protection of public and environmental health in urban precincts and in the recovery of scarce water and energy resources for an increasingly urban and growing global population. Yet wastewater treatment operations are among the most energy-intensive within...

Highlights Microbial LRV validation of AGS was conducted during start-up and mature operation. LRV was assessed for four indicators and compared to Conventional Activated Sludge. Start-up of AGS did not reduce microbial indicator LRV performance. AGS is able to meet or exceed CAS health-based targets...

This review provides a critical assessment of the production process routes of a wide range of value-added products from WAS, their current limitations, and recommendations for future research to help promote more sustainable management of this under-utilised and ever-growing waste stream.

In this study, the impacts of high-saline sewage on AGS development, performance and ecology were investigated using molecular microbiology methods.

This review critically evaluates the types and concentrations of key illicit drugs found in wastewater, surface water and drinking water sources worldwide, and what is known on the effectiveness of wastewater treatment in removing such compounds.
