The effect of agro-waste co-digestion and sludge disposal on carbon footprint in municipal wastewater treatment plants
Abstract
The study presents analysis of the carbon footprint (CF) in 6 wastewater treatment plants in northern Poland with a special focus on the effect of co digestion of sewage sludge and food waste. Although co-digestion increases the on-site energy production, but it has a negative effect on the total CF. To overcome the negative effect, several sludge disposal scenarios were analysed and their effect on the CF reduction was determined. Farmland distribution was found to be the best scenario with the total CF drop up to 7%.
