Towards a Renewable Future: Assessing Resource Recovery as a Viable Treatment Alternative State of the Science and Market Assessment

This report presents a review of extractive nutrient recovery technologies with an emphasis on bridging the knowledge gap faced by utilities when considering nutrient recovery for nutrient management. The report provides a framework for selecting a nutrient recovery option and, depending on the conditions at a water resource recovery facility, establishes whether keeping phosphorus in biosolids is more or less beneficial than concentrating it in an inorganic phase such as struvite.
