HARVESTING ENERGY FROM WASTE
• This year's theme was
centered on harvesting
and producing energy
from waste.
• There were numerous
exhibits on optimized
membrane filtration
and new ideas for
sludge handling and
management.

MBR ON THE RISE
• Lessons learned from IFAT i
2016, including stricter
sewage guidelines, rapid
population growth and
bottlenecks in the water
supply, mean that the
market for membrane
bioreactors (MBR) is
growing more and more
quickly.
• The membrane growth
procedure allowing water to
be reused is gaining in
importance, particularly in
urban areas.
TYPICAL LARGE GERMAN_ PLANT
• Most large wastewater
treatment plants in Germany
rely on egg-shaped anaerobic
digesters followed by
fluidized bed incinerators for
solids disposal and energy
recovery.
• Most plants import fat-oll-and
grease (FOG) to their
digesters for additional
biogas productions.
• to addition, most plants have
solar panels and windmills for
alternative renewable power
sources.

• Many companies are
now making equipment
to produce biopower -
from waste.

• In general, one metric (�.._�...
ton of food waste can
produce 600 to 800 - - -
kWh of energy.

• Seepex now offers
split case stators to
allow quick and easy _
replacement of the
rotor without
dismantling the piping.

• The District owns and
operates numerous
sludge pumps made
by Seepex and could
consider refurbishing
them with this new
feature.

• Swiss company Egger -
makes an IRIS valve
for fine tuning airflow.
• New York City isb
. ._
installing these valves
at all their wastewater P
treatment plants to
improve air flow
control and energy
savings.
• The District may
consider looking into
this valve for its
aeration basins.
