IWA AD18 Presentation Nasreen Nasar

The Environmental Biotechnology Network is proud to support Nasreen Nasar to attend the IWA-AD18 conference in Istanbul to present part of her PhD work on understanding the impacts of thermal hydrolysis pre-treatment on sludge composition and linking them to optimization. Her important takeaways from this conference were: 1. The AD sector is becoming increasingly relevant considering reducing reliance on fossil fuels and promoting energy independence. Advancements in technology, favourable government policies, and increasing environmental awareness are all actively contributing to this growth. 2. A greater effort made is being made at linking key process dynamics and the complex microbial ecology underlying them to optimizing AD systems and controlling product formation- an exciting push that will close the gap between AD plants and biorefineries. 3. There is an increasing focus on alternative pathways like dark fermentation especially in the context of hydrogen economy and the production of valuable chemicals. 4. The industry is continuously evolving in terms of innovations and technology readiness levels, from the well-established thermal hydrolysis to novel but upcoming bio-electrochemical systems, all aiming towards better efficiencies and resource recovery.
