Seawater toilet flushing has been adopted in Hong Kong for more than half a century, resulted in 22% reduction of freshwater demand. Meanwhile the saline swage containing high content of sulfate enables us to develop a novel sulfate reductionautotrophic denitrification-nitrification integrated (SANI) process with minimal biowastes production. In this presentation, this sulfur cycle-based biological process for co-treatment of wet flue gas desulfurization wastes with freshwater sewage in inland areas will be discussed, including the organic and nitrogen removal performances, biowaste production, involved microorganisms as well as the optimization of the process.
