New hybrid technologies with algae, bacteria and chemical agents are being developed for sustainable wastewater treatment (WWT) processes. This book focuses on the latest developments in Microbial Electrochemical Systems, highlights major challenges in large scale operation, and presents the future scope of these techniques to make treatment processes more sustainable.Wastewater treatment is a longstanding challenge faced in every region across the globe. With increasing urbanization and more intensive agriculture the level of contaminants as well as the types of pollutants in wastewater continue to increase. Excessive use of detergents soaps, cleansing agents with new formulations, chemical fertilizers and pesticides have all added to the problem. Conventional methods of wastewater treatment were successful to some extent to decontaminate the water, but these techniques require longer times and more input of energy. Microbial electrochemical systems (MES) aid the sustainability of wastewater treatment (WWT) process.
