WATER AND WASTEWATER MANAGEMENT IN THE CIRCULAR ECONOMY - MAREK GROMIEC

Discover the fascinating world of water and wastewater management in the context of the circular economy! This scientific monograph by Marek Gromiec is an essential source of knowledge for anyone interested in sustainable development and innovative solutions in the field of environmental engineering. Dive into the analysis of EU assumptions and American paradigms that shape the future of water management.

• Comprehensive analysis of the circular economy in the water and wastewater context
• Detailed discussion of technologies for recovering water, metals and energy from wastewater
• Practical examples of the application of innovative solutions in Poland and abroad
• Up-to-date information on EU assumptions and American paradigms
• Inspiration to implement sustainable solutions in cities and regions
• Reduction of climate change through efficient resource management

This book, the 5th volume in the series of scientific monographs of the Faculty of Building Services, Hydrotechnics and Environmental Engineering of the Warsaw University of Technology, presents the general assumptions and applications of the EU circular economy and the new wastewater paradigm in water and wastewater management. The author focuses on the possibilities of integrating the recovery of biogenic substances, water and energy with the circular economy, which creates new economic and environmental perspectives.

The monograph describes in detail the technologies used abroad, including water recovery (including filtration and disinfection of wastewater), recovery of metals and chemicals, recovery of phosphorus from leachate from sludge, removal of biogenic substances and recovery of energy from wastewater and sludge. The reader will also find an analysis of environmental problems related to plastics and the production of hydrogen, which is considered the fuel of the future.

This publication is a valuable source of knowledge for engineers, scientists, students and anyone interested in sustainable development and innovative solutions in the field of water and wastewater management. Thanks to it, you can understand how the circular economy can contribute to environmental protection, reducing climate change and improving the quality of life in cities and regions. Year of publication 2024, 130 pages.
