摘要: Municipal sewage contains significant embedded resources in the form of chemical and thermal energy. Recent developments sustainable technology have pushed for integration resource recovery from household wastewater to achieve net zero energy consumption carbon-neutral communities. Sewage heat fit-for-purpose water reuse are options optimize potential municipal wastewater. This study presents a comparative life cycle assessment (LCA) focused on global warming (GWP), eutrophication (EUP), human health carcinogenic (HHCP) an integrated system hypothetical community 30,000 people. Conventional space heating components generally demonstrated highest GWP contribution between different evaluated. Sewage-heat-recovery-based district offered better environmental performance overall. Lower impact contributions were by scenarios with membrane bioreactor (MBR) chlorination prior applications compared that use more traditional treatment technologies discharge. The LCA findings show integrating MBR into schema could provide additional savings at scale.
