Conference: Grant Proposal to Support Participation of US Researchers at the Intensification of Resource Recovery Forum 2015

1523702SharpGrant建议支持美国研究人员参加2015年强化资源回收论坛安全用水、能源和食品的可持续生产面临着许多挑战，为了应对这些挑战，水务行业已将废水确定为不仅是优质水，而且是可回收能源和营养资源的可行和可持续来源。最近，人们已经认识到，废水中含有有价值的资源，如碳，氮和磷。废水中的碳可以回收来产生能量，而氮和磷的回收可以补充农业的营养需求。本次会议将为污水处理厂强化资源回收技术的进一步开发、示范和实施制定可操作的路线图。本次会议包括通过所有利益相关者积极参与强化技术的开发、测试和实施，实现污水处理厂资源回收的全部潜力。保护公众健康和改善环境质量的废水处理原始模式已开始转变，现在包括可持续能源生产和资源回收。为了支持这一范式转变，水行业必须积极开发、展示和实施新的资源回收技术，以最大限度地提高效益，降低成本，减少传统废水处理技术的意外环境后果。该会议计划包括“技术拉动”和“技术推动”战略。资源回收和能源中性的驱动因素包括能源需求和碳排放减少、商品适销以及以降低成本提高效率。本次会议将积极吸引研究人员参与旨在加强资源回收的技术的开发和演示，使他们能够引领范式转变，为可持续资源回收创造新的机会。

1523702SharpGrant Proposal to Support Participation of US Researchers at the Intensification of Resource Recovery Forum 2015There are numerous challenges associated with the sustainable production of safe water, energy and food and to address these challenges the water industry has identified wastewater as a viable and sustainable source for not only quality water, but recoverable energy and nutrient resources. Recently, it has been understood that wastewater contains valuable resources such as carbon, nitrogen and phosphorus. Carbon in wastewater can be recovered to generate energy, while nitrogen and phosphorus recovery can supplement nutrient demand for agriculture. This conference will establish actionable roadmaps for the further development, demonstration, and implementation of technologies that intensify resource recovery at wastewater treatment plants.This Conference includes realizing the full potential of resource recovery at wastewater treatment plants through active participation of all stakeholders in the development, testing, and implementation of intensifying technologies. The original paradigm of wastewater treatment to protect public health and improve environmental quality has begun to shift, and now includes sustainable energy production and resource recovery. To support this paradigm shift, the water industry must actively develop, demonstrate and implement new resource recovery technologies to maximize benefit, and reduce the cost and unintended environmental consequences of traditional wastewater treatment technologies. This conference program includes both a "technology pull" and a "technology push" strategy. Drivers for resource recovery and energy neutrality include decreased energy demand and carbon emissions, marketable commodities, and improved efficiency at reduced cost. This conference will actively engage researchers in the development and demonstration of technologies aimed at intensifying resource recovery, allowing them to lead the paradigm shift and create new opportunities for sustainable resource recovery.
