Description

The newest breakthrough innovation for the water and wastewater industry is the convergence of biotechnology with wastewater management. Biotechnology is the incorporation of living organisms to develop or modify products by applying scientific and engineering principles with the aid of biological agents. Anaerobic digestion, one of the processes in the stabilization of sludge, is used to remove pathogens, odor, putrescibility, and other offensive characteristics from raw sludge.
The key factors driving the adoption of biotechnology for treating wastewater globally include rising urbanization, growing wastewater recycling, and companies resorting to "innovating to zero". The research service analyzes the trend of wastewater treatment using biotechnology for 2016-2020 and provides key insights into how the water and wastewater industry is evolving and what impact this trend will have on the process equipment market.
