Application of a novel pilot-scale bioreactor for wastewater treatment at a typical remote area in China

Current wastewater treatment facilities are relatively large and located in centralized populated areas. A major issue arises in an area such as Tianjin China because there are a number a small communities and villages located a great distance away from the centralized treatment plant within the city. Because of this, those villages require a transportation method that will remove their wastewater and bring it to the facility; some communities are in very remote areas where wastewater transportation is not possible. The proposed idea is the innovation of a small wastewater bio-reactor that can be centralized within smaller communities. The objectives of this project it to bring effective wastewater treatment to smaller populated areas, reduce the need of wastewater transportation and reduce the cost of wastewater treatment.
