A new osmotic membrane-microbial electrolysis cell (OMEC) technology for sustainable wastewater treatment, resource recovery, and energy production Ghent University
Global demand for water, food, and energy are projected to grow dramatically in the next decades. Forward osmosis (FO) membrane processes have been emerging as an effective tool for water reuse, resource recovery, and energy harvesting from wastewater. This study aims to develop new technology for simultaneous wastewater treatment/reuse, nutrient recovery, and energy production. A new FO membrane with more beneficial properties compared to ...
