Abstract
Transforming traditional wastewater treatment plants into next generation wastewater treatment plants is crucial for achieving the European and global sustainable development goals. Resource recovery technologies, which provide biobased material and energy sources from waste streams, are becoming essential. This chapter focuses on the production and application of the most promising bioproducts, particularly short and medium-chain fatty acids, their up-stream and poststream applications. Furthermore, various strategies (bioaugmentation, enrichment and encapsulation methods) are discussed to overcome several limitations in resource recovery processes by manipulating microbial communities in biological wastewater treatment processes.
