Tags: The Hong Kong University of Science and Technology, Hong Kong, Energy & Environment, Industrial Automation & Manufacturing
This method utilizes electrochemical pretreatment in sludge management, reducing sludge volume and energy consumption in wastewater treatment. It involves treating wastewater biochemically, then using electrochemical pretreatment on part of the sludge, which is recycled back into the system. The process also improves the removal of nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus. This approach offers a systematic and energy-efficient solution for enhancing wastewater treatment facilities. It is particularly applicable to municipal and industrial wastewater management, aiming for more sustainable practices.
