Global Atlas of Excreta, Wastewater Sludge, and Biosolids Management
It is crystal clear that, in addition to clean air, the well-being of our planet also requires that water, wastewater and the resulting biosolids (sludge) need to be managed more seriously, and in a focused, coordinated and cooperative manner. The idea for the creation of this Global Atlas of Excreta, Wastewater Sludge, and Biosolids Management originated at the IWA Biosolids Conference, “Moving Forward Wastewater Biosolids Sustainability: Technical, Managerial, and Public Synergy” held in Moncton, New Brunswick, Canada in June 2007. At this conference representatives of the International Water Association (IWA), Water Environmental Federation (WEF) and European Water Association (EWA) agreed that it would be very useful to produce a current edition of the “Global Atlas of Wastewater Sludge and Biosolids Use and Disposal” which had been published in 1996, with Peter Matthews being
the original editor.

Odor Control
20 years ago there was little talk of odor control. WWTP’s and PS were located out of town, and odor was not a problem.
Today odor control is generally considered an essential process in sewage treatment plant design, and in many other industries.

Enhanced Anaerobic Digestion and Hydrocarbon Precursor Production from Sewage Sludge
. Ultimate Goal: Transform negative-value or low-value biosolids into high-energy-density, fungible hydrocarbon precursors.
.Enables sustainable production of biogas that is considered as a cellulosic biofuel under new RFS2 (EPA, July 2014).
.Addresses DOE's goals of development of cost-competitive and sustainable biofuels by advancing efficient production strategies for drop-in biofuels.

Energy from Wastewater Sewage Sludge in Lebanon
The Ministry of Energy and Water (MEW) and the Council for Development and Reconstruction (CDR) are considering investing in energy produced from
wastewater sludge through anaerobic digestion (AD). Currently, Lebanon has only a few constructed wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), however many
others are either under construction, under designphase assessment, or are envisioned to be assessed in the future. The goal of this study is to undergo a feasibility assessment to identify the WWTPs that meet the conditions to implement AD and elaborate the related technical specifications.
