Conventional wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) present low phosphorus (P) removal capacity. Conversely, water treatment plants (WTPs) produce sludge with great P sorption from wastewater; however, directly adding the sludge into the wastewater treatment system could increase the effluent turbidity. As a novel approach, the present study evaluated the performance of WTP sludge within paper sachets for P removal from treated sewage.

- The study analyzed the bacterial community in a drinking water system serving a city in Brazil by collecting and examining water samples from various points in the system.
- The main bacterial groups identified were Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Actinobacteria, and Cyanobacteria, indicating a diverse microbial environment influenced by treatment processes.
- Findings revealed that treated water showed a distinct bacterial community compared to network samples, with decreased diversity after chlorination but an increase during distribution, also noting the presence of opportunistic pathogens.
Co-digestion is a strategy that may prevent microbial inhibition during the anaerobic treatment of sugarcane vinasse, a substrate with highly biodegradable organic load, acidity, and toxic compound levels (e.g., sulfates, phenols).
