As we enter a new millennium, the environmental issues faced by both developing and industrialised nations are as pressing as ever. Environmental biotechnologies are increasingly being viewed as a major weapon against environmental damage. Cleaner production is part of this strategy and yet there is still widespread ignorance about this emerging technology. Environmental Biotechnology and Cleaner Bioprocesses provides this information at various levels, from introductory to advanced. The first section covers the development of cleaner bioprocesses within the framework of sustainable development. Aspects of environmental policy for small and medium businesses are then discussed using case studies to illustrate principles. The second section covers the recycling and treatment of organic waste, including the use of aquatic plants and microalgae for wastewater treatment and recovery of nutrients. Section three covers bioremediation technologies and finally, section four is dedicated to emerging cleaner bioprocesses and environmentally sound products. All chapters have been written and edited by leading authorities in the field. Students and professionals interested in environmental biotechnology and cleaner production will find the background information and detail they require in this one convenient source.

A state-of-the-art assessment of research, demonstration, and commercial projects that involve the use of power plant condenser cooling water for agricultural and aquacultural purposes was conducted. Information was obtained from published literature, site visits, and communications with knowledgeable individuals. Thermal effluent uses were discussed for controlled environment greenhouses, biological recycling of nutrients from livestock manures, soil heating and irrigation, environmental control for livestock housing, grain drying, food processing, as well as the culture of numerous aquatic organisms. A large number of research and feasibility studies have been conducted, but few commercial enterprises are utilizing thermal effluent. Interfacing problems, environmental and legal restrictions, along with insufficient technology, have not allowed widespread commercial application. Specific research needs were discussed.

This is the second workshop specifically devoted to the utilization of power plant waste heat in aqaculture. It was held at the Continuing Education Center of Rutgers, The State University, New Brunswick, New Jersey, March 29-31, 1978. The purpose of this Workshop was to bring together experts and representatives from industry, government and universities to update and exchange information developed since the first waste heat aquaculture Workshop held at Trenton State College, November 6-7, 1975. A notable change in emphasis in the second Workshop is the inclusion of a number of papers dealing with overseas (non-U.S.) aquaculture research programs. This brought new perspectives with regard to the different approaches for development of waste heat aquaculture technology by different industrial societies. The papers presented at the Workshop are reproduced, essentially as delivered with only minor modifications, if any, by the Workshop Coordinating Committee. The views presented are those of the authors.
