As populations grow and urbanisation rises, municipal water treatment for reusing wastewater presents a reliable and safe option for many communities. Reclaimed municipal wastewater minimises the need for local regions to import water, which can be an expensive and energy-intensive endeavour. 

Adequate wastewater treatment plants are vital for communities and industries around the world. They also face tight operating budgets and constantly seek ways to improve efficiency. Organic (BOD) and nutrients (Phosphorus and Nitrogen) should be removed and recovered to comply with legislation.
