Biomass production

This chapter describes the possibility to combine wastewater treatment in recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS) with the production of crop plants biomass. In an aquaponic RAS established in Waedenswil, Zurich, the potential of three crop plants was assessed to recycle nutrients from fish wastewat

This chapter highlights some of the possible additional advantages of the use of constructed wetlands (CWs) for wastewater treatment joined to the Ecosan approach; reuse of treated wastewater, nutrients recovery and biomass production are the targets that can be kept in mind while designing a sustai
