Energy recovery solution for waste water with payback less than 1 year

Treating wastewater in Australia produces three million tons of sludge which must be treated and disposed of. The process is responsible for 50% of the total operating costs of wastewater treatment plants. A new treatment technology would reduce the amount of waste by a third also recovering energy from the sludge itself.
