In this Environmental Science and Engineering article, Nick Szoke discusses the integrated resource recovery approach at the Gold Bar Wastewater Treatment Facility

In fact, wastewater contains many valuable resources that, if recovered, can be repurposed. Integrated resource recovery offers a comprehensive framework for maximizing the recapture of valued end products.
