The nutrient content of AnMBR effluent can be used to feed microalgae – a biomass from which it's possible to produce energy (biofuel) by hydrothermal liquefaction. The algae have been shown to assimilate nutrients from wastewater, providing the dual benefit of wastewater purification and the generation of a useful biomass. A new feature from Luong N. Nguyen (University of Technology Sydney) et al.
