On 18 - 21 May 2015, the NRR SG will organize the IWA Specialized Conference on ?Nutrient Removal and Recovery. Moving Innovations into Practice?. The conference continues the series of the past NRR conferences held inCracow in 2005 and 2009. This time, the conference theme will focus onmoving innovations into practice in the area of nutrient removal andrecovery from wastewater.

The Nutrient Removal and Recovery (NRR) SG focuses on cutting edgefundamental and applied research in nutrient removal and recoverytechnologies, and applications of those technologies in the design,operation, and optimization of wastewater treatment systems. With thenew demand for sustainable nutrient removal and recovery, there are manyexciting research opportunities in the following areas:

  • Conventional biological nitrogen and phosphorus removal processes,
  • Sidestream and mainstream deamonification,
  • Nutrient recovery from source separated wastewater and sludge handling processes,
  • Technologies for maintaining biomass in NRR reactors (membranes, granular sludge, biofilm carriers, hybrid systems),
  • Microbiological methods for identification of microorganisms involved in NRR processes,
  • Operation and control of NRR in wastewater treatment plants,
  • Mathematical modeling of NRR processes and the integration ofinstant process simulation and monitoring with operational control.

SHORT ABOUT THE PROJECT

Project Industrial animal farms in the Baltic Sea Region - sustainable practices to reduce nutrient loads is a part of a long-term campaign of the Coalition Clean Baltic and Green Federation "GAJA", aiming to reduce the negative impact of large-scale animal production on the environment and local communities in the Baltic Sea Region, particularly by reducing nutrient run-off into the sea. The project is part-financed by the European Union. This website reflects only the view of the Coalition Clean Baltic.
