Sustainable wastewater management

该项目旨在从废水中提取高价值的液体产品(中链脂肪酸)，并将温室气体排放和能源消耗降至最低，此外还有清洁的水。传统的废水处理通过使用大量能源和排放温室气体来去除有机碳和营养物质。然而，废水是一种大量但在很大程度上尚未开发的可再生资源。预期的结果是将废水从麻烦的污染物转化为有价值的资源，并减少碳足迹。

This project aims to extract high-value liquid products (medium-chain fatty acids) from wastewater with minimised greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption, in addition to clean water. Traditional wastewater treatment removes organic carbon and nutrients by using vast amounts of energy and releasing greenhouse gas. However, wastewater is a substantial but largely untapped renewable resource. The intended outcome is to transform wastewater from a troublesome pollutant to a valuable resource and reduce carbon footprints.
