Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) assessed sewer solids handling options, evaluating social, environmental, and economic impacts. This approach supports sustainable water management and enhances decision-making for utilities.

Area of Science:

  • Environmental Science
  • Water Resource Management
  • Sustainable Engineering

Background:

  • Growing demand for sustainable living necessitates re-evaluating water service provision.
  • A whole-system perspective, considering social, environmental, and economic factors, is crucial for modern water management.
  • Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) is increasingly applied beyond products to assess complex processes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To apply Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) techniques to evaluate sewer solids handling processes.
  • To determine energy and mass flows and environmental impacts of various sewer solids management options.
  • To contribute to enhanced decision support systems for water utilities.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized SimaPro software for Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) implementation.

  • Quantified energy and mass flows associated with different sewer solids handling strategies.
  • Assessed environmental impacts across social, environmental, and economic criteria.

    • Main Results:

    • Identified distinct energy, mass flow, and environmental impact profiles for each sewer solids handling option.
    • Provided quantitative data to compare the sustainability of different management approaches.
    • Demonstrated the utility of LCA in assessing complex water infrastructure processes.

    Conclusions:

    • Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) is a valuable tool for evaluating sewer solids handling options.
    • The study provides data to support more informed, sustainable decision-making in water utilities.
    • Integrating whole-system perspectives through LCA enhances the sustainability of water services.
