The Department of Defense is working to reduce water and energy use throughout its installations in order to improve sustainability. One aspect of this is treatment of wastewater on both fixed installations and forward operating bases (FOBs). Current wastewater treatment options are generally energy intensive and do not produce water that is of sufficient quality to be reused. This session will highlight research on wastewater treatment with a focus on sustainable on-site treatment of wastewater and generation of usable products from these technologies.
