| Summary: | Access to clean water has been a great challenge around the globe due to the high pollutant contents in
the water. Therefore, there is a high demand of freshwater resources or a dire need of clean recycle
wastewater as a new source of water supply. In order to accomplish this, new concept or engineering
systems need to be developed where hybrid wastewater treatment system can be an effective pollutants
removal. Wastewater contains energy in the form of biodegradable organic matter. The concept of
accomplishing wastewater treatment and generate energy simultaneously has been a trend recently and
can be done with hybrid wastewater treatment system. Energy gained from such hybrid system is
therefore both sustainable and environmental friendly which may be good source of bio-energy to
compliment the power of a treatment plant. In this paper, we classify hybrid wastewater systems
typically include physical–biological hybrid, physical–chemical hybrid, chemical–biological hybrid and
physical–chemical–biological hybrid system. From the detailed literature gathered thus far, hybrid systems demonstrated some potential advantages compared to stand-alone systems such as: more stable
and sustainable in the voltage generated, better overall treatment efficiency and energy savings. |
