MSU partners to improve wastewater treatment on military bases

Michigan State University and the U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command Ground Vehicle Systems Center, or CCDC GVSC, are working together to develop a robust, energy-positive wastewater treatment system for Army Forward Operating Bases.

The project is using a $1.3 million grant to convert blackwater and organic food wastes into potable water and renewable energy. Funding is from the U.S. Department of Defense Environmental Security Technology Certification Program.
