The Digest’s 2025 Multi-Slide Guide to Low-Energy Wastewater Treatment

Discover the M-BREWW project’s innovative approach to transform wastewater treatment from an energy consumer to a producer. Their system integrates a cloth filter anaerobic membrane bioreactor (CFAnMBR), ammonia ion exchange, and electrolysis to recover energy and produce hydrogen. This eliminates significant aeration energy and increases net energy yield. A pilot-scale system in Urbana, IL, demonstrates the potential for net energy positive wastewater treatment.
