This informative volume provides comprehensive knowledge on various aspects of wastewater resource management from the point of process sustainability and resource recovery. This authoritative compendium is crucial for developing resource-efficient and sustainable wastewater treatment technologies and management strategies for both small (decentralized) and large (centralized) communities.

Traditional wastewater systems have become increasingly energy-consuming and cost-intensive while also not meeting the increasing standards for nutrient removal and sustainable development. This book incorporates the latest developments in pollutant removal and resource recovery schemes in wastewater treatment. It highlights advances that have been made in microbiological processes; design of treatment methods; process configurations; energy conservation and efficiency improvement schemes; nutrient removal; recovery, reclamation, and recycling; beneficial uses of wastewater; and bioenergy and biochemical production from wastewater and sludge streams.

Waste-to-energy technologies, especially wastewater treatment as a potential biofuel energy alternative through bioelectrochemical and other processes, are also discussed in this book.

Basic and advanced principles of wastewater treatment are covered with theoretical development, illustrations, samples and examples, and case studies. Eminent scholars around the world have shared their knowledge here, making this volume a valuable resource for novice researchers as well as practicing and experienced professionals in biofuel research and industrial sectors. The scientific experimental methods and analytical procedures and interpretation of the results capture the state-of-the-art knowledge in the literature and future trends in this area.

Key features:

  • Emphasizes the principles of sustainable wastewater treatment and process development
  • Discusses a wide array of waste-to-energy technologies, wastewater treatment, and activated sludge processes for nutrient recovery and valuable chemical production
  • Highlights recent advances and developments in energy conservation, efficiency, and recovery in wastewater processes
  • Includes environmental assessment and life cycle and economic analyses for sustainable development

His research work is well utilized in the literature, with over 5,500 citations. He has published two books on biofuels research and three books in desalination research and one book in sustainable water management, as well as more than 18 invited book chapters, 50 conference proceedings papers, 20 technical reports, several popular press articles and media releases, and two patents in microalgae biofuels and low temperature desalination technologies respectively. He has delivered 50 invited lectures, including panelist talks and over 150 scientific research and educational presentations. He has organized many workshops on water-energy-environment nexus topics at national and international platforms. He was the chair and board representative for clean energy and water division of ASES between 2011 and 2016. He serves on numerous scientific advisory boards and task committees across the world, including AAEES, ASCE-EWRI, ASEE, ASES, and AWWA. He is a member of several editorial boards and editor for many scientific journals, including ASCE Journal of Environmental Engineering; ASCE Journal of Hazardous, Toxic and Radioactive Waste; Desalination and Water Treatment; Nature, npj Clean Water; Renewable Energy; and Water Environment Research (Water Environment Federation) Journal. His research is supported by the National Science Foundation, US Environmental Protection Agency, United States Geological Survey, United States Department of Agriculture, and many industrial and international agencies. He has received many recognitions for research, teaching, and service activities from regional, national, and international organizations, conferences and professional societies (ASCE, ASEE, ASES, and Chi Epsilon National Civil Engineering Honor Society). He also received the 2017 Albert Nelson Marquis Lifetime Achievement Award and the 2017 ASCE MS Engineer of the Year Award. Dr. Gude received a BS degree in Chemical Engineering Technology from Osmania University, Hyderabad, India, and worked for Du Pont Singapore. He received MS and PhD. degrees in Environmental Engineering from the National University of Singapore and New Mexico State University, respectively. His research expertise includes biofuel synthesis using sustainable chemistry principles and process intensification, and advanced wastewater treatment for resource recovery. He is a licensed professional engineer, a board-certified environmental engineer (also known as diplomat environmental engineer, DEE), a board certified diplomat water resources engineer (D.WRE), and an elected Fellow of the ASCE (American Society of Civil Engineers).
