Abstract: Often, small-scale agriculture and industries in remote areas lack the access to cost-effective wastewater (WW) treatment. One techno-economical solution could be WW treatment by algal biofilm in Algal Turf Scrubbers (ATS). Yet, systematic studies, to the efficiency of ATS biofilms in nutrient-recovery from WWs and -release to crops, are limited. Here we present the findings of a case-study to 4 pilot-scale ATS operated with 4 WW-types under field conditions for 12 months. We will show results to nutrient transfers, biomass yields, and WW remediation. Further, we will evaluate bioavailability and valorisation of ATS biofilm as slow-release fertiliser or soil improver.
