Hear from National Institute of Water & Atmospheric Research (NIWA) on
Algal Production in Wastewater Treatment

Using algae for wastewater treatment offers key advantages over conventional wastewater treatment. It is cost effective, has low energy requirement, reduce GHG emissions and sludge formation. More importantly, algae based wastewater treatment creates value at every step:

• Treats wastewater
• Recovers wastewater nutrients as fertiliser
• Removes carbon dioxide from flue gas
• Can be processed into Biofuels

          (see below diagram for clearer illustration)

The National Institute of Water & Atmospheric Research (NIWA) in New Zealand has successfully demonstrated wastewater treatment using algae. Five hectares of the Christchurch Wastewater Treatment Plant’s oxidation ponds have been converted into the world’s first large-scale wastewater treatment algal production system.

The 3rd Algae World Asia is happy to welcome the speaker panel, Dr Rupert Craggs, Group Manager of Aquatic Pollution at NIWA. He will be sharing on the topic: “Algal Production in Wastewater Treatment High Rate Algal Ponds”.

Scheduled on 19-20 Oct in Singapore, 3rd Algae World Asia will also feature other key issues related to Algae Production, Processing, Biofuels and Co-Products. Please watch out for my subsequent emails as I share on the other interesting topics at 3rd Algae World Asia.
