Exploring the factors at play to make wastewater biorefineries a reality
This thesis concerns the topic of wastewater biorefineries (WWBR), in which wastewater is not seen simply as a waste stream to be cleaned but as a valuable material flow to be converted into bioproducts, while still meeting discharge limits at the end. To set the scene, similar developing …

Conversion of waste organic carbon and nutrient streams to renewable fuels through integrated biological funneling and catalytic hydrothermal upgrading
… societal energy demands linked to growing wastewater generation and treatment costs have led to a growing impetus for wastewater treatment plants to transition into renewable resource production facilities or biorefineries, which aim to valorize the organic carbon and nutrients found in …

Towards value from waste: Bioreactor selection for the reduction of nutrient load and production of Poly-y-glutamic acid
… economies. The re-use and reimagination of wastewater through the concept of a wastewater biorefinery (WWBR) is one such potential opportunity. It is the merging of integrated wastewater processing with bioproduction of valuable products from a waste stream, whilst still achieving clean …

Selection of bacterial species from wastewater for potential production of poly (γ-glutamic acid): isolation, characterisation and growth kinetics
Wastewater treatment plants represent a source of nutrients for microbial growth and product formation. In an approach in which bioresource productivity is maximised, it is desirable to not only achieve water treatment to the desired standard, but at the same time to harness the value in these …
