New research prove processed water to be an excellent fertilizer
A scientific article published by researchers at the University of Gothenburg and Chalmers University of Technology shows that processed water from food production can serve as an excellent fertilizer in seaweed cultivation.
The research showed that processed water not only does grow the seaweed faster but its protein content also multiplies. In this way, process water can go from being a cost to becoming a resource in the food industry.
“The protein content of soybeans is about 40 per cent. By using process water, we have increased the protein content in the seaweed to more than 30 per cent,” says Kristoffer Stedt, a doctoral student at the Department of Marine Sciences at the University of Gothenburg.
