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 process topology in plant-wide control loop performance assessment
This contribution describes how disturbances in a control system can be isolated and diagnosed automatically based on plant topology. In order to demonstrate this, a prototype software has been designed and implemented which, when given an electronic process schematic of a plant and results from a data-driven analysis, allows the user to pose queries about the plant and to find root causes of p...
متن کاملIntegrating algaculture into small wastewater treatment plants: process flow options and life cycle impacts.
Algaculture has the potential to be a sustainable option for nutrient removal at wastewater treatment plants. The purpose of this study was to compare the environmental impacts of three likely algaculture integration strategies to a conventional nutrient removal strategy. Process modeling was used to determine life cycle inventory data and a comparative life cycle assessment was used to determi...
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...
