00:00Experts in Wastewater Management are now working on a technology

00:05where even water spills can be used for energy, fertilizer, and more.

00:11Rod Daguzad has the details.

00:17Before the water we use for our daily use reaches our gripo,

00:22it goes through various processes to ensure that it is clean.

00:26After this, the wastewater or water used,

00:30such as the bathing or washing of the plate that goes straight to the sewage,

00:35will also go through a treatment or process before returning to the water.

00:39In this process, a sludge or biosolids emerges,

00:43a kind of waste that is brought to the landfill,

00:46but it can still be used for energy.

00:49And following support from an expert under the Balik Scientist Program

00:53of the Department of Science and Technology,

00:55it is now possible here in Manila

00:58through the use of anaerobic digestion technology.

01:01We can do this in a way to make it more dry

01:06and then convert this waste into energy.

01:11Not only energy like biogas that can produce heat and electricity,

01:17but also we can use its by-product to become fertilizer.

01:22Through this, there is no more waste that needs to be thrown away

01:26before it can help the environment.

01:29With the help of Dr. Mario Rebusura Jr. of the Balik Scientist Program,

01:33he brought his experience in water utilities in Australia,

01:36it is now possible.

01:37The so-called technology has not changed,

01:39but it is a chance for the Philippines to join other countries.

01:43According to Rebusura, this is also a big thing when it comes to human health.

01:48We can't just let it be in our facilities.

01:54We need to do something about it.

01:55We need to reduce the volume of the sludge that is produced in our facilities

02:02and treat it.

02:04My role here is to speed up their understanding

02:09on how to operate these anaerobic digestion facilities

02:12and how to better manage their biosolids

02:15that they produce in their treatment plants.

02:18In addition, the technology can be adjusted

02:21so that smaller water utilities can be used here.

02:25In Manila, it is estimated that in 3 to 5 years,

02:29four of its plants will have this capacity,

02:33including their Paranaque Wastewater Reclamation Facility.

02:37Also included in the plan of Manila is to have the capacity

02:40to measure the concentration of biogas coming from the sludge.

02:44For now, it is still being sent to other countries for inspection.

02:47It will help to convert it into renewable energy.

02:52It is also expected that more sludge will be collected

02:55in the treatment of wastewater.

02:56It is expected that it will help the company and the public.

03:00As we lower our costs, it is also beneficial.

03:04It is not just for our customers,

03:06it is also for our environment

03:08because if we just return it to an untreated environment

03:13it will be harmful to our environment.

03:17It is a big thing to have sustainability

03:20to balance our needs that are not affected by the environment.
