This conference targets to contribute to defining the direction of engineered resource recovery from wastewater and sewage streams. The conference will provide a technical, economic and practical framework for implementation of resource recovery and identify current and future systems, processes and endpoints for resource recovery. This framework is a significant re-orientation compared to the removal paradigm practiced widely without heed to the benefits of appropriately designed and implemented resource recovery. The conference will expose researchers to the needs and developments from across the globe on topics related to resource recovery.Wastewater contains valuable resources such as carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus. Whereas untreated wastewater threatens human health, ecosystems, biodiversity, food security and the sustainability of water resources, the carbon present in the wastewater can be recovered to generate energy while nitrogen and phosphorus recovery can supplement nutrient demand for agriculture. There are a number of innovative approaches and technologies for energy neutral, or even energy positive, nutrient removal and recovery. The drivers for resource and energy recovery include decreased energy demand and carbon emissions, marketable commodities, and improved efficiency at reduced cost.

本次会议的目标是为确定从废水和污水流中回收工程资源的方向做出贡献。会议将为实施资源回收提供一个技术、经济和实用框架，并确定当前和未来的资源回收系统、流程和终点。这个框架是一个重大的重新定位相比，广泛实行的删除范式，而不注意适当设计和实施资源恢复的好处。 会议将使研究人员了解地球仪在资源回收方面的需求和发展。废水中含有碳、氮和磷等宝贵资源。虽然未经处理的废水威胁到人类健康、生态系统、生物多样性、粮食安全和水资源的可持续性，但废水中的碳可以回收来产生能源，而氮和磷的回收可以补充农业的营养需求。有一些创新的方法和技术，用于能源中性，甚至能源积极，养分去除和回收。资源和能源回收的驱动因素包括能源需求和碳排放减少、商品适销对路以及以降低成本提高效率。
