Comprehensive evaluation of the carbon footprint components of wastewater treatment plants located in the Baltic Sea region
PublikacjaFinland and Poland share similar environmental interests with regard to their wastewater effluents eventually being discharged to the Baltic Sea. However, differences in the influent wastewater characteristics, treatment processes, operational conditions, and carbon intensities of energy mixes in both countries make these two countries interesting for carbon footprint (CF) comparison. This study aimed at proposing a functional...

Integrating conventional nitrogen removal with anammox in wastewater treatment systems: Microbial metabolism, sustainability and challenges
PublikacjaThe various forms of nitrogen (N), including ammonium (NH4+), nitrite (NO2−), and nitrate (NO3−), present in wastewaters can create critical biotic stress and can lead to hazardous phenomena that cause imbalances in biological diversity. Thus, biological nitrogen removal (BNR) from wastewaters is considered to be imperatively urgent. Therefore, anammox-based systems, i.e. partial nitrification and anaerobic ammonium oxidation (PN/anammox)...

Model-based identification of the dominant N2O emission pathway in a full-scale activated sludge system
PublikacjaActivated sludge models (ASMs), extended with an N2O emission module, are powerful tools to describe the operation of full-scale wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). Specifically, such models can investigate the most contributive N2O production pathways and guide towards N2O and carbon footprint (CF) mitigation measures. A common practice is to develop and validate models using data from a single WWTP. In this study, a successfully...

Bilans energii i ślad węglowy w zrównoważonej gospodarce oczyszczalni ścieków
PublikacjaDążenie do osiągnięcia zrównoważonego rozwoju stawia przed oczyszczalniami ścieków (OŚ) nowe wyzwania. Oprócz dotrzymywania standardów jakościowych w odpływie, obserwuje się dążenie do samowystarczalności energetycznej. Nowym kryterium oceny jest ślad węglowy (CF) określający skumulowaną emisję gazów cieplarnianych generowanych przez OŚ. Celem artykułu było określenie relacji między bilansem energii a śladem węglowym w zrównoważonej...

Energy neutrality versus carbon footprint minimization in municipal wastewater treatment plants
PublikacjaThis work aimed to compare the carbon footprint (CF) of six full-scale wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). The CF was estimated in the range of 23–100 kg CO2e per population equivalent. In the total CF, the direct emissions held the highest share (62–74%) for the plants with energy recovery from biogas. In the plants depending entirely on the power grid, the indirect emissions due to energy consumption dominated the total CF (69–72%)....

Energy Neutrality Versus Carbon Footprint Minimization In Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants
PublikacjaThe study presents analysis of the carbon footprint (CF) in six medium and large-size municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) located across Poland. The novelty of the presented study is searching the relationship between level of energy neutrality and CF in the case studies. Although energy and CF go hand-in-hand to some degree but moving towards energy neutrality in WWTPs might also lead to an increase in the total CF of...

Evaluating the effect of different operational strategies on the carbon footprint of wastewater treatment plants – case studies from northern Poland
PublikacjaNowadays, low greenhouse gas (GHG) emission is expected at wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). However, emission quantification and evaluation still faces difficulties related to data availability and uncertainty. The objective of this study was to perform carbon footprint (CF) analysis for two municipal WWTPs located in northern Poland. Slupsk WWTP is a large biological nutrient removal (BNR) facility (250,000 PE) which benefits...

MODELOWA GOSPODARKA OSADOWA W OCZYSZCZALNI ŚCIEKÓW ZORIENTOWANA NA ZWIĘKSZENIE PRODUKCJI ENERGII ODNAWIALNEJ I ODZYSK ZWIĄZKÓW BIOGENNYCH
PublikacjaOczyszczalnie ścieków poddawane są stopniowej zmianie paradygmatów. Początkowo kładziono nacisk na cel podstawowy – oczyszczanie ścieków i zwiększenie wymagań w stosunku do jakości ścieków oczyszczonych odprowadzanych do odbiorników. Poprawa efektywności energetycznej aż po uzyskanie samowystarczalności energetycznej stanowiła kolejny trend budzący zainteresowanie ze względu na korzyści ekonomiczne wynikające z oszczędności w zakupie...

The effect of agro-waste co-digestion and sludge disposal on carbon footprint in municipal wastewater treatment plants
PublikacjaThe 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....

Achieving energy neutrality in wastewater treatment plants through energy savings and enhancing renewable energy production
PublikacjaWastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) consume high amounts of energy which is mostly purchased from the grid. During the past years, many ongoing measures have taken place to analyze the possible solutions for both reducing the energy consumption and increasing the renewable energy production in the plants. This review contains all possible aspects which may assist to move towards energy neutrality in WWTPs. The sources of energy...
