What
is Ecological Engineering?
It is
an emerging discipline of environmental science utilising
ecological processes,
within natural or constructed imitation of natural systems
to acheive engineering goals
It has
also been described as "the design of sustainable ecosystems
that integrate human society
with it's natural enevironment for the benefit of both"
I describe
it as simply by manipulating and merging ecological processes
with engineering disciplines,
to achieve a zero emission process whilst creating and producing
added value products
Waste
utilisation or nutrient mining is one of many ecological
engineering disciplines
that
abosrbs nutrient and energy in solid waste or wastewater
streams.
