Operation and Performance of Austrian Wastewater and Sewage Sludge Treatment as a Basis for Resource Optimization
Recent years came with a paradigm shift for wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) to extend the sole purpose of contaminant removal to an additional function as resource recovery facilities. This shift is accompanied by the development of new European legislation towards better inclusion of resource r...
