“…Brewery sludge (BS) is a waste product of the brewery industry that contains sufficient organic carbon-rich byproduct [ 1 ]. The soil enriched with sludge amendments can exhibit up to three times higher organic carbon levels than soil amended with inorganic fertilizers [ 2 ]. This establishes it as a favorable substance for enhancing soil quality.…”

“…Water scarcity, climate challenges, environmental degradation and the need for environmental sustainability have led to the introduction of wastewater in the national water resources management strategies and plans of numerous countries such as Morocco (Chenini, 2010). This encouraged the application and implementation of innovative processes and nature‐based solutions for wastewater treatment and recycling (El Moussaoui et al, 2022; El Moussaoui, Wahbi, et al, 2019; Langergraber et al, 2020, 2021; Raymond et al, 2017).…”

In this study, an eco‐efficient scheme (EES) that is both selective and environmentally viable is proposed and compared to a conventional activated sludge scheme (CAS). The results showed an optimal process operation and a significant difference (p < 0.001) in organic load and nutrient removal efficiencies between CAS and EES. Moreover, statistical analysis based on variance and principal component analysis highlighted a significant positive correlation between influent/effluent wastewater parameters, performance indicators and adopted process configuration. Thus, the average concentrations of activated sludge biomass were 3.11 ± 0.48 gTSS.L−1 and 2.51 ± 0.37 gVSS.L−1, and the volatile suspended solids (VSS) to average total suspended solids (TSS) ratio, which indicates the rate of active fraction of activated sludge biomass and the degree of mineralization, was approximately 81%± 2%, suggesting the optimal development of activated sludge biomass in the bioreactor. Furthermore, chemical oxygen demand and 5‐day biological oxygen demand removal efficiencies in CAS were 94% and 97% versus 55% and 66% in EES, respectively. Nitrogen abatement in terms of total Kjeldahl nitrogen and performed by CAS was approximately 85% and 86%, respectively, and by EES 41% and 40%, respectively. Phosphorus abatements were comparable in both CAS and EES. The effluent hygienic quality parameters after disinfection conformed to applied standards for safe reuse. For agricultural purposes and environmental and socio‐economic considerations, we must consider further ecological methods. Selecting organic matter and nutrients can also provide hygienic effluent; therefore, the eco‐efficient process constitutes a promising eco‐friendly technology.
