Wastewater Treatment

All organisms produce waste, but unlike natural ecosystems where microbes rapidly recycle it, humans generate vast amounts of waste—both organic and synthetic—that exceed nature’s capacity to degrade it. To manage this, we use landfills for solids and wastewater treatment systems for liquids. These systems remove pathogens and toxic chemicals, protect health, and exemplify recycling by converting organic waste into biogas and recovering clean water and valuable nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus
