Abstract
As onsite wastewater treatment and recycling technologies continue to evolve, next generation treatment systems must continue to capitalize on opportunities to reduce cost and footprint while increasing robustness, reliability, and performance. In particular regulatory agencies are more readily moving to protect water resources through rules requiring systems to meet increasing effluent criteria. This presentation unveils new opportunities toward the development of next generation onsite treatment technologies that address coming needs of the water recycling industry while showcasing potential avenues that offer the potential for value-add through various pathways of resource conversion and recovery. A broader view of sustainability as it pertains to the community-scale is necessary as various disparate, heterogeneous industries seek to achieve needed gains in this area. Simultaneously closing the loop on the circular water, food, and energy economies will synergistically drive society toward sustainability.
