Advancing Wastewater Treatment: Enhancing Efficiency and Sustainability with Continuous Flow Reactors for Aerobic Granular Sludge Cultivation
FY 2023-24
Summary
This research proposal centers on advancing wastewater treatment (WWT) through the utilization of continuous flow (CF) reactors for cultivating aerobic granular sludge (AGS). The primary objectives encompass the optimization of operational parameters, enhancement of nutrient removal efficiency, scaling up of the AGS-based technology, enhance energy efficiency and resource recovery, and address real-world implementation challenges.Researchers involved in this project stand to acquire proficiency in state-of-the-art WWT technologies, thereby fostering professional growth. The envisaged impact extends to potential reductions in operational costs, economic savings, and contributions to global sustainability objectives. The proposed grant not only seeks to facilitate collaboration, knowledge dissemination, and technology transfer but also aims to delve into additional facets of CF-AGS reactor technology, broaden outreach and education initiatives, establish partnerships with industry stakeholders, and explore further grant opportunities for sustainable WWT research and development.
