INTRODUCTION
Why Optimize in Industry?
 After agriculture, industry is the largest user of water for development,
consuming 5-10% of global water withdrawals.
WORLD WATER ASSESSMENT PROGRAMME WWAP (Editor)
(2009)

 The largest industrial consumers of water are thermal power, iron and steel,
paper production, textiles, and petrochemical industry.
GAO et al. (2008)

 From 1987 to 2003, industry used roughly twice as much water compared to
households, whereas about a third of this water usage was recorded in the United
States and about a thirtieth by all 19 territories of South-eastern Africa.
SASI GROUP & NEWMAN (2006)
INTRODUCTION
Why Optimize in Industry?

Optimization of water use in industry can:


 Lower water withdrawals from local water sources thus increasing

water availability and improving community relations;


 Increasing productivity per water input;

 Lowering waste water discharges and their pollutant load;

 Reducing thermal energy consumption and potentially processing

cost.

Why Optimize in Industry?
THE THREE R’S – A CONCEPT OF NATURAL RESOURCES MANAGEMENT

Reduce
Reuse (directly)
Recycle (treat & reuse)
INTRODUCTION
Implications of R-R-R
Reduction of water consumption, Reuse, Recycle leads to:
• Reduction of pressure on water resources,
• Less demand for large water supply systems and facilities (e.g. wells,
pumps, distribution networks, collection, treatment),
• Less generation of wastewater  reduces energy demand and need for
collection and treatment facilities, and
• Closing the water & nutrient cycle.
INTRODUCTION
Options for Reusing Process Water:

• Water cooling towers • Process rinse water


• Transportation of • Crate and pallet washing
materials • Hardstand and vehicle
• Air purifiers washing
• Washing floors • Industrial fire protection
• Sanitary fixtures (toilet • pH adjustment

1980s, particularly
countries where shortage of water resources is severe.

In addition, since many municipal wastewater treatment plants are required to meet stringent
effluent limits to protect the water quality of the receiving streams, wastewater reuse becomes a
viable and attractive alternative.
INTRODUCTION - MUNICIPAL WASTEWATER REUSE:
Due to the complexity of wastewater sources and reuse applications, there are no
national standards for wastewater reuse in most countries in the world.

Currently, wastewater reuse practices are mainly managed via regulations and
guidelines.

The presence of pathogens, biodegradable and refractory pollutants, heavy metals and
other toxic organics in the wastewater can be a health or environmental concern if
adequate treatment level is not provided.

However, since some of these chemical pollutants may be contributed by industries, an


effective industrial pretreatment program is absolutely required before any potential
reuse is considered.
INTRODUCTION - MUNICIPAL WASTEWATER REUSE:
Municipal wastewater reuse can be classified as direct and indirect reuse.
INTRODUCTION - MUNICIPAL WASTEWATER REUSE:

Common Industrial Applications

• Cooling Water (Power plants, refineries)

• Process Water (Textile, paper, and chemical industries)

• Boiler Feed Water (after advanced treatment)

• Irrigation for Landscaping (industrial parks)

🏭 CRADLE TO GRAVE IN MODERN INDUSTRIAL
WASTE MANAGEMENT

The "Cradle to Grave" concept is a key idea in environmental management and


sustainability, especially in Life Cycle Assessment (LCA).

Definition
Cradle to Grave refers to tracking a product's entire lifecycle—from raw material
extraction (cradle) to its final disposal (grave).

Emphasizes comprehensive environmental responsibility throughout all stages of a


product's existence.
LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT APPLIED TO WASTEWATER
TREATMENT
• Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is a methodological approach that measures the
environmental impacts across the entire lifespan of a product, service, or process,
encompassing every phase from inception to disposal.
• Originating in the 1960s, LCA has since evolved, giving rise to a multitude of
methodologies tailored to various fields of study.
• In the field of wastewater treatment (WWT), Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) has been
applied since
• the early 1990s.
• LCA has been widely used to quantify environmental impacts associated with urban
water infrastructure, including wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs).
LIFE CYCLE ASSESSMENT APPLIED TO WASTEWATER
TREATMENT
• As the wastewater management sector shifts its focus from merely eliminating
pollutants to embracing resource recovery and circular economy principles, Life Cycle
Assessment (LCA) emerges as a crucial tool.
• It evaluates the environmental sustainability of innovative technologies and processes,
while also highlighting the trade-offs across multiple environmental impact categories.
• LCA, being a quantitative method for environmental assessment, provides valuable
support for decision-making.
• It enables the examination of various operational scenarios during strategic planning
phases within the water industry.
• This approach helps in the transition towards more sustainable and resource-efficient
wastewater treatment practices.
QUANTITATIVE ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS OF
WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITIES
• A municipal wastewater management setup typically includes both a sewer network
and a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP), which is a prevalent example of low-
strength waste streams.
• The sewer systems linked to WWTPs can be either separate or combined.
• The separate system designates distinct flows/networks for rainwater and for
domestic/industrial wastewater, while the combined system utilizes a single pipe for
both types of runoff.
QUANTITATIVE ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS OF
WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITIES
• The WWTP is composed of various stages or units, such as pre-treatment, primary
treatment, secondary treatment, sludge management, and, in some cases, tertiary
treatment.
• Pre-treatment and primary treatment primarily target the elimination of particulate
contaminants, including solids, grit, and grease.
• Secondary treatment addresses the organic matter, as well as nitrogen and
phosphorus compounds present in the sewage, through a combination of biological
and chemical processes.
• Tertiary treatment, when implemented, is designed to further eliminate any residual
small particles and pathogens in the wastewater.
• The final stage in wastewater management is the treatment of excess sludge, which
aims to stabilize and reduce its volume through processes like thickening and
dewatering. Once treated, the sludge may be disposed of in landfills, utilized in
QUANTITATIVE ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS OF
WASTEWATER TREATMENT FACILITIES
• The construction of a WWTP is a complex endeavor that involves a variety of materials,
including concrete, timber, steel, and plastics.
• It also requires meticulous operational planning and the installation of specialized
equipment.

• The day-to-day functioning of a WWTP necessitates several resources:


(i) Significant electricity for pumping and aeration processes
(ii) Chemical inputs for sludge management and phosphorus elimination
(iii) The transportation of waste, sludge, and chemicals

• The life cycle of a WWTP—encompassing construction, operation, and


decommissioning—has considerable environmental implications. These impacts stem
from energy use, chemical consumption, sludge production, effluent discharge, and
STATE-OF-THE-ART METHODS FOR APPLYING LCA IN

Uncertainty in Environmental & Economic Trade-Offs:


•Nutrient recovery (nitrogen, phosphorus) and energy recovery are environmentally beneficial.
•However, trade-offs include increased chemical use and energy consumption, making cost-
benefit outcomes uncertain.

System Complexity:
•WWTP processes are interconnected and non-linear — effluents from one unit may serve as
inputs to another.
•Makes modeling and impact attribution complex in LCAs.

Evolving Role of WWTPs:


•Modern plants serve beyond basic treatment — focus on resource recovery, energy efficiency,
and removal of emerging contaminants.
•Existing LCA methodologies may not fully capture these functions.
CHALLENGES IN APPLYING LCA TO WWTPS
Lack of Specific Guidelines:
•No comprehensive or updated guidance tailored for WWTPs.
•ISO standards (14040, 14044) provide only general rules.
•Product Category Rules (PCR) for wastewater treatment expired in 2016.
