Life-Cycle Assessment of Wastewater Treatment Plants
This thesis presents a general model for the carbon footprints analysis of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs), using a life cycle assessment (LCA) approach. In previous research, the issue of global warming is often related to traditional industries with high carbon dioxide (C0 2) emissions, such as power plants and transportation. However, the analyses of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) h...
متن کاملLife Cycle Assessment of Biological Nutrient Removal Wastewater Treatment Plants
Advances in wastewater treatment over the past 150 years have improved public health and local water quality. Recently however, society has begun to consider the wider environmental implications of these improvements. This paper uses life cycle assessment to quantitatively compare the environmental costs and benefits of different wastewater treatment technologies and standards. It is demonstrat...
متن کاملUsing the Life Cycle Assessment Methodology for a Comprehensive Evaluation of Energy Demand in Wastewater Treatment
Previously, the analysis of energy demand for wastewater treatment was often limited to onedimensional analyses of electricity demand. However, a comprehensive analysis requires the inclusion of all different contributions to energy demand, such as the energy required to produce chemicals (e.g. coagulants and flocculants) and transport sludge, and the additional fuels needed to dry sewage sludg...
متن کاملInvestigating the Wastewater Treatment System of the Tehran Oil Industry Research Institute using the Life Cycle Assessment Method
Introduction: Due to population growth and subsequent limited water resources, the use of treatment plant effluents is of particular importance. Therefore, this study was conducted to identify the environmental effects of the treatment plant and also to identify critical points or weaknesses of the treatment plant system and provide corrective action to reduce the severity of the effects. M...
متن کاملTreatment of Uncertainties in Life Cycle Assessment
Spurred by European Union directives along with increased interest among US initiatives, life cycle assessment (LCA) is becoming a common tool used in the measurement and evaluation of environmental performance and overall sustainability. Life cycle assessment is an analytical technique for assessing potential environmental, social, and economic burdens and impacts of a given product or process...
