Nutrient recovery

Nutrient recovery – from wastewater treatment and sludge treatment

A $94 million upgrade to the North Head Water Resource Recovery Facility (WRRF) has reached an important milestone with the installation of two digesters which will help increase fertiliser production for the Central Tablelands of NSW. The digestors will almost double the amount of biosolids which can be reused as agricultural fertiliser from 40 tonnes to 70 tonnes per day. Fertiliser from biosolids will continue to be delivered to farms in the Central Tablelands of New South Wales including Bathurst and Orange.

Access to clean water is strained as the human population increases, and contamination impacts freshwater sources. Devices currently in development that clean up dirty water using sunlight can only produce up to a few gallons of water each day. But now, research published in ACS Central Science report how loofah sponges inspired a sunlight-powered porous hydrogel that could potentially purify enough water to satisfy someone’s daily needs — even when it’s cloudy.

You can purify water through a loofah and the sun?

The United Republic of Tanzania, which shares seven out of its nine river/lake basins with neighbouring countries, is taking an essential step towards stronger cross-border cooperation for sustainable water management by advancing its accession to the Convention on the Protection and Use of Transboundary Watercourses and International Lakes as well as the Convention on the Law of Non-Navigational Uses of International Watercourses.
