The Omniprocessor, designed by Seattle-area engineering firm Janicki Bioenergy, reinvents the sewage treatment plant. In the Omniprocessor, sewer sludge is fed into tubes
and boiled, producing water vapor which is purified for drinking. The dry solids are fed then into a fire,
Known as Aquaszero, the product can be used in existing water treatment filter cartridges where the arsenic bonds firmly to the Aquaszero granules.

#Sewer Sensors Detect Homemade Bombs As They're Being made Could the secret to finding illicit explosives labs before they harm anyone be hiding in a city's poop?
A European union-funded research project spearheaded by the Swedish Defense research agency FOI aims to sniff out the telltale signs of bomb-making through the sewer system.
It would position sensors throughout sewers to alert authorities when traces of chemicals used to make explosives get flushed down the drain
and will be put to the test in actual sewers next year. Scientists have looked previously into sewer sensors as a way to examine drug usage on a citywide level.
Poop! It holds so many of our secrets.##New Scientist S

and forcing the city to shut down four water filtration plants. The city government said operations resumed at two plants on Wednesday
The company is launching today onstage at Disrupt NY 2015 with the Naked Filter, a consumer water bottle with its proprietary water filtration membrane built-in.
If the material is used for wastewater treatment applications, you wouldn want the particles themselves to become pollutants
"There was one site where there was literally raw sewage being dumped into the stream, which had very high levels of bacteria."
"There's a lot of interest in developing new products for point-of-use water treatment, "she told the BBC.

Processes controlled by SCADA include water treatment and distribution electricity, heating, and, perhaps most worryingly, airplanes and trains.

#Wastewater treatment Captures Carbon emissions, Produces Energy A wastewater treatment process developed by engineers at the University of Colorado Boulder mitigates carbon dioxide emissions and actively captures greenhouse gases.
Wastewater treatment typically produces CO2 EMISSIONS in two ways: the fossil fuels burned to power the machinery, and the decomposition of organic material within the wastewater itself.
Plus, existing wastewater treatment technologies consume high amounts of energy. Public utilities in the US treat an estimated 12 trillion gallons of municipal wastewater each year
used as a chemical buffer in the wastewater treatment cycle itself or used to counter acidity downstream from the process such as in the ocean.
A carbon-negative wastewater treatment system could benefit power companies, the authors say, as the EPA Clean Power Plan requires power plants to comply with reduced CO2 EMISSION levels e

#Vibrations of Water-Carrying Nanotubes for Improved Water filtration Systems Together, unsafe drinking water and the inadequate supply of water for hygiene purposes contribute to almost 90%of all deaths from diarrheal diseases
A new study published in Nature Nanotechnology proposes a novel nanotechnology-based strategy to improve water filtration.
Water filtration systems require a lot of energy due to friction at the nano-level. With these oscillations, however, we witnessed three times the efficiency of water transport,
Western-style sewer lines and sewage treatment plantsare not feasible options in most poor countries according to Gates.
But, a sewage treatment machine like the Omniprocessor may work in such places, he said. Measuring about 75 feet (23 meters) long and 26 feet (8 m) across, this small processing plant can handle about 14 tons of waste every day.
The machine is loaded up with sewer sludge, which travels up a conveyor belt and is fed into large tubes known as dryers.
