This project aims to develop an innovative technology to recover valuable resource from sewage sludge by enhancing transformation of sewage sludge into high-value medium chain fatty acids and methane. Wastewater treatment generates large amounts of resource-rich sewage sludge. However, the poor biodegradability of sewage sludge is a key barrier that impedes the efficient resource recovery. By advancing the underpinning science and introducing a novel technology that innovatively harnesses a human waste, the project expects to remove the barrier. Expected project outcomes will turn sewage sludge from an undesirable waste to a valuable resource. This should provide significant benefits for Australia’s renewable energy and resource sectors.

该项目旨在开发一种创新技术，通过将污水污泥转化为高价值的中链脂肪酸和甲烷来回收宝贵的资源。废水处理产生大量资源丰富的污水污泥，但其可生物降解性较差。污水污泥是阻碍有效资源回收的关键障碍。通过推进基础科学并引入创新性地利用人类废物的新技术，该项目预计将消除这一障碍，将污水污泥从一种不需要的废物转变为一种宝贵的资源，这将为澳大利亚的可再生能源和资源行业带来巨大的好处。
