The inventory is mainly based on industry data and is completed, where necessary, by secondary data.0The data set represents the country / region specific situation, focusing on the main technologies, the region specific characteristics and / or import statistics.This data set covers all relevant inputs and outputs from the treatment of incoming waste water from domestic/municipal sewage. It can also be used for low contaminated waste water from industrial processes. Highly contaminated industrial waste water requires special treatment which is not accounted in this dataset. This dataset contains mechanical, biological and chemical treatment steps for the waste water (including precipitation and neutralization), and treatment steps for the sludge (thickening, dewatering). In this dataset an agricultural application of the sludge is modelled. The outflow goes directly to the receiving water (natural surface water). The waste water composition to the plant represents an average outflow of a chemical industry commodity to the treatment plant with organic and inorganic substances or derivates from this average composition (see document "waste water composition"). The process steps are taking average elimination and transfer coefficients into account. The sewage passes through the bar screens for rag removal. In this section, automatic bar screen cleaners remove large solids (rags, plastics, etc.) from the raw sewage. Next, the sewage is transported to the grit tanks. These tanks reduce the velocity of the sewage so that heavy particles can settle to the bottom. In the separator suspended particles such as oils, fats are removed. The settlement tank can remove the larger suspended solids. FeSO4, and Ca(OH)2 are used as precipitant agents in the mixing tank to remove metals. Ca(OH)2 and H2SO4 to regulate the pH value. The primary clarifiers remove the suspended solids from the mixing tank prior to discharge to the aeration tanks. The aeration tanks provide a location where biological treatment of the sewage takes place. The activated sludge converts organic substances into oxidized products, which are settled out in the secondary clarifiers. Phosphoric acid is used as nutrient for micro-organisms. The cleared overflow in the secondary clarifiers goes to a natural surface water body (stream, river or bay). The settled solids, from the settlement tank, the primary clarifiers and secondary clarifiers, are pumped to the primary thickener where the solids are thickened (water content thickened sludge 96 %). The sludge is pumped to filter presses for dewatering, which use chemical flocculants to separate the water from the solids (water content dewatered sludge 65 %). In this dataset sludge for agricultural application is produced. For this reason the sludge is not dried and supplied after dewatering. The output is wet sludge (water content 65 %) containing N, P2O5 and K2O according to statistics and calculations.
The impact of the agricultural use of fertilizer is not included; this shall be considered in the pre-system or the following system (e.g. application of waste water as a fertilizer to feed or bio energy crops). It is also possible to model a closed loop system which means that waste water generated from the disposal of organic waste is brought back to agricultural fields where it is produced from. In this case only surplus nutrients from waste water should be used as a substitute for mineral fertilizer.
The background system is addressed to average German conditions as follows:
As auxiliaries are used: precipitation agents, nutrients, neutralization chemicals and conditioning agents. For these processes, cradle to gate data sets have been chosen for the following chemicals: Iron (II) sulphate, calcium hydroxide, sulphuric acid and phosphoric acid.
Electricity, thermal energy: The electricity (and thermal energy as by-product) used is modelled according to the individual country-specific situation. The country-specific modelling is achieved on multiple levels. Firstly the individual power plants in service are modelled according to the current national grid. This includes net losses and imported electricity. Second, the national emission and efficiency standards of the power plants are modelled. Third, the country-specific fuel supply (share of resources used, by import and / or domestic supply) including the country-specific properties (e.g. element and energy contents) are accounted for. Fourth, the import, transport, mining and exploration processes for the energy carrier supply chain are modelled according to the specific situation of each power-producing country. The different mining and exploration techniques (emissions and efficiencies) in the different exploration countries are accounted for according to current engineering knowledge and information.
Steam: The steam supply is modelled according to the individual country-specific situation with regard to the technology efficiencies and energy carriers used. Efficiencies range from 84% to 94% in relation to the representative energy carrier (gas, oil, coal). Coal, crude oil and natural gas used for the generation of steam are modelled according to the specific import situation (see electricity).
Transports: All relevant and known transport processes used are included. Overseas transport including rail and truck transport to and from major ports for imported bulk resources are included. Furthermore all relevant and known pipeline and / or tanker transport of gases and oil imports are included.
Energy carriers: Coal, crude oil, natural gas and uranium are modelled according to the specific import situation (see electricity).
Refinery products: Diesel, gasoline, technical gases, fuel oils, basic oils and residues such as bitumen are modelled via a country-specific, refinery parameterized model. The refinery model represents the current national standard in refinery techniques (e.g. emission level, internal energy consumption) as well as the individual country-specific product output spectrum, which can be quite different from country to country. Hence the refinery products used show the individual country-specific use of resources. The supply of crude oil is modelled, again, according to the country-specific crude oil situation with the respective properties of the resources.Calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)2; dry; slaked lime) (EN15804 A1-A3)DE: Ferric chloride (estimation) ts (data set not included in documentation)Sodium hydroxide (from chlorine-alkali electrolysis, diaphragm)Sulphuric acid (96%)DE: Aluminium chloride hexahydrate ts (data set not included in documentation)DE: Iron (II) sulphate ts (data set not included in documentation)Phosphoric acid (75%)Ammonium nitrate (AN, 33.5% N)Potassium chloride (KCl/MOP, 60% K2O)Provision of a standard technical product according to the applied technology.EoL_Municipal waste water treatment (agricultural sludge application).JPGEoL_Municipal waste water treatment with biotic CO2-emission_Output wet sludge.JPGEoL_Credit for fertilizer due to sludge, incl. emissions from storage.JPGLCI resultAttributionalNoneAllocation - market valueAllocation - net calorific valueAllocation - exergetic contentAllocation - massForeground system: None.
Background system: For the combined heat and power production, allocation by exergetic content is applied. For the electricity generation and by-products, e.g. gypsum, allocation by market value is applied due to no common physical properties. Within the refinery allocation by net calorific value and mass is used. For the combined crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids production allocation by net calorific value is applied.
