Sewage : Management and Treatment Techniques

Abstract

Sewage - Management and Treatment Techniques explores innovative strategies to treat and manage sewage. It provides a comprehensive overview of technological and socio-environmental aspects, making it a valuable resource for policymakers, academicians, researchers, engineers, and students. The book discusses biological treatment techniques, covering both aerobic and anaerobic processes. It emphasizes microbial interactions, treatment efficiency, and the advantages of each approach in reducing organic and inorganic pollutants in sewage. Microalgae and black soldier fly larvae are also promising biological methods for sewage treatment, emphasizing their role in nutrient recovery and environmental sustainability. This book also discusses the treatment and recovery of biosolids using a natural biopolymer-based approach. The approach offers an eco-friendly alternative for sludge recovery from sewage wastewater. To intensify treatment technologies, artificial intelligence and Internet of Things integration in sewage management are gaining attention. This autonomous system can enhance real-time monitoring, predictive analytics, and operational efficiency in sewage treatment plants. Additionally, a perspective on sewage management's socio-economic and environmental effects is discussed. Different scales of recycling systems are evaluated while considering ecological value and sustainable sewage management practices. This book serves as a guide for developing sustainable sewage management systems globally by integrating scientific advancement, emerging technologies, and socio-environmental aspects.
