Abstract

Wastewater treatment operations focus on removing pollutants from wastewater to meet water quality standards for public health and environmental protection. However, in recent decades new sustainability targets for wastewater treatment plants have been postulated and implemented, which assume that energy is one of the key elements. Therefore, a transition from a negative energy balance (energy demand covered by external sources) to an energy-neutral or unevenly positive energy balance of wastewater treatment has been postulated. The carbon footprint (CF) is a new measure of sustainability in the wastewater sector for determining the overall impact of wastewater treatment plants on climate change. The following paper presents a method for estimating and assessing the carbon footprint of wastewater treatment plants.
污水处理厂碳足迹的估算方法
废水处理业务的重点是去除废水中的污染物,以达到公共卫生和环境保护的水质标准。然而,近几十年来,废水处理厂的新可持续发展目标已经被假设和实施,其中假设能源是关键因素之一。因此,假设从负能量平衡(由外部来源覆盖的能源需求)过渡到能量中性或不均匀的废水处理正能量平衡。碳足迹(CF)是废水部门可持续性的一种新措施,用于确定废水处理厂对气候变化的总体影响。本文提出了一种估算和评估污水处理厂碳足迹的方法。
