Representatives from Cetaqua presented the LIFE ENRICH project at the 3rd IWA Resource Recovery Conference (IWARR) 2019, which was held on September 8th to 12th in Venice (Italy).
Under the title “Nitrogen up-concentration from mainline and sidestream effluent in WWTPs for fertilizer valorisation”, the presentation was focused on the assessment of the technical and economic viability of activated clinoptilolite (natural zeolites) and membrane contactors as a competitive treatment to recover and valorise nitrogen in WWTP through fertilizer production.
The IWA Resource Recovery Conference 2019, which celebrated its 3rd edition, had as the overall theme of the conference: “Resource Recovery from Water – from concept to standard practice “. The conference was built upon the foundational work done by the IWA cluster for Resource Recovery from Water, and the previous conferences held in Belgium (Ghent, 20l5) and the United States (New York, 2017). The strategic objective of the conference was to highlight the importance and showcase opportunities for embedding resource recovery as a key consideration in urban water management.
