USF scientists see opportunity gushing from water treatment

When a beach, food product or water source is contaminated, it can take days to discover and resolve the issue. A device developed at the University of South Florida can cut that time to hours.
Wastewater typically is sanitized and discharged. Researchers at USF are trying to harvest the ammonia and phosphate and perhaps even produce energy from what we flush away.
A top water official visited USF on Wednesday to see those high-profile research projects and unveil a federal blueprint to promote technology innovation in solving water resource issues.
"Part of what we're trying to do is encourage the development of technologies that solve real-world problems, and that's what they're doing here at the University of South Florida," said Nancy Stoner, acting assistant administrator for water at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency. "There are some really good things happening in the lab, and it's time to move it out and start using these technologies."
