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.

该会议的目标是为定义从废水和污水流中的工程资源回收方向做出贡献。该会议将为实施资源回收提供技术，经济和实用的框架，并确定当前和未来的系统，流程和端点以进行资源恢复。与广泛实践的删除范式相比，该框架是一个重大的重新定位，而没有注意适当设计和实施的资源回收的好处。 该会议将使研究人员了解与资源回收有关的主题的需求和发展。WasteWater包含碳，氮和磷等有价值的资源。尽管未经处理的废水威胁人类健康，生态系统，生物多样性，粮食安全和水资源的可持续性，但可以回收废水中存在的碳以产生能量，而氮和磷恢复可以补充营养需求对农业的需求。有许多创新的方法和技术用于中性，甚至能量阳性，营养素清除和恢复。资源和能源回收的驱动因素包括减少能源需求和碳排放，可销售的商品以及以降低的成本提高效率。
