One strategy that can be employed with agricultural wastes is land application . However many dairy wastewaters, such as the wastewater at the Caine Dairy, contain high concentrations of nitrogen and phosphorus that are not appropriate for land application, and must undergo costly pretreatment solutions if they are to be land applied . These same compounds can serve as a nutrient source for the production of algal biomass that can be used as a feedstock for downstream processing into bioproducts [4, 5].
