Abstract:
Conservation of water resources represents one of the socio-ecologic sustainable development priority strategies, wastewater treatment plants ensuring water resources reintegration within the hydrologic circuit. The activated sludge system needs to undergo frequent switch between anaerobic, anoxic and aerobic conditions for biological nutrient removal, thus requiring extra energy and chemicals to fulfil the task, leading to the need for evaluating alternative solutions with reduced operational costs and high efficiencies. The study focuses on assessing the efficiency of microalgae-bacteria granules for wastewater treatment and possibility to use the microalgae-bacteria system as a single step for wastewater treatment.
