The end of the year is reserved for family, friends, and recapitulations. So, let's quickly see what news have marked the end of the previous year!
10 Water News from December Every Water Expert Should Be Aware Of!
Without any further ado, here they are:
- Wastewater Treatment Plants Can Become Sustainable Biorefineries
All of the world's wastewater treatment plants produce large quantities of sewage sludge, used today to produce biogas. In the future, treatment plants can have a broader function by being converted into biorefineries for the production of everything from biogas to different new materials.
