Wastewater is increasingly recognized as a valuable water, nutrient, and energy source. Effective separation processes are therefore essential to selectively harvest the target resource from the wastes. We develop membrane technologies to effectively harvest valuable resources from challenging wastewater, including methane, ammonia, and high-value organic chemicals.
