Use of Algae in Wastewater Processing- 1/2 Day Seminar
April 15, 2010
8:00 am to 12:00 pm
Edmonton, Alberta


The use of algae to treat municipal, industrial, and agricultural wastewater is not new. However this technology has attracted a good deal of recent interest since such systems have the potential to generate carbon credits by taking up carbon dioxide, and by using the algae to produce ‘green’ fuels such as bio-diesel. Municipal wastewater streams are rich in nutrients and might appear to be an excellent candidate for this technology. However this advantage might be trumped by other factors such as climate and land area requirements. This seminar will provide an overview of the factors that need to be taken into consideration in evaluating this technology, recent trends and developments in this interesting field, and details of contributions to our knowledge of this area by local researchers.

  • Solid Waste Training Needs Survey Report Available

    In late 2008, the EWMCE conducted a survey of solid waste personnel in Alberta (and beyond) in order to determine priority training needs for the solid waste industry. Valuable information was gained from the survey responses, and this will be used to help the Centre plan and develop training modules for the solid waste sector. A brief summary of the survey results is now available.

    Stay tuned in the coming year for information about upcoming solid waste courses.
