Chapter 8 contains: Introduction, Energy balance in wastewater treatment plants and potential energy recovery, Potential valuable products recovery, Anaerobic processes focused on liquid products recovery; Anaerobic digestion (AD) processes focused on gaseous products recovery, Processes enhancing energy and valuable organic products recovery, Conclusions and perspectives. Anaerobic processes offer different pathways for the recovery of a wide variety of valuable products, both in liquid and gaseous form. These processes can be directed through the appropriate selection of substrates and methods of their pretreatment, process conditions and upgrading in order to obtain valuable products of the expected quality. Both well-established and emerging technologies can be applied and combined to implement the principles of circular economy and sustainability in wastewater treatment and organic waste management. In response to scientific achievements and technological development, promoted and stimulated by global trends, policies and favorable economic conditions, wastewater treatment plants are gradually transforming into water resource recovery facilities.
