This research study is divided into two phases. Phase one aims to investigate the feasibility for biogas recovery, water and biomass reuse potential in support of community gardens post implementation of a demonstration Integrated Algal Pond System (IAPS). The feasibility study outcomes will inform any required skills transfer activities in support of operations and maintenance of IAPS within South African municipalities. The second phase focuses on the construction of an IAPS demonstration plant at the Barberton wastewater treatment works (WWTW) as part of the Department of Science and Innovation (DSI) funded Innovation Partnership for Rural Development Programme (IPRDP).
