Uh M�Noa Tackles Wastewater Emissions with $2M Grant

credit:

Researchers at the University of Hawaii have received a $2 million grant to develop a process that could drastically reduce the environmental impact of wastewater treatment, the Honolulu Star-Advertiser reports.

According to a press release, the researchers plan to investigate a new process that could significantly decrease the environmental impact of nitrogen removal methods in wastewater treatment.

Currently, nitrogen is added to wastewater before it's sent to a treatment facility.

Researchers hope to use the new process to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from wastewater treatment while increasing energy recovery.

�By developing technology that can reduce greenhouse gas emissions from wastewater treatment while potentially increasing energy recovery, we�re not only addressing global climate concerns but also working towards greater energy independence for our island communities,� researcher Zhiyue Wang says in the press release.

The researchers plan to test the new process at the WaiEanae wastewater treatment facility.
