In collaboration with IVL Swedish Environmental Research Institute, Kemira Ltd is offering a webinar on the Carbon footprint of different wastewater treatment plant configurations. This free, on-demand session explores the environmental impact of different treatment configurations, and offers practical guidance for increased sustainability.
The session shares findings from a study, initiated and funded by the European Inorganic coagulants Producers Association (INCOPA), comparing chemical and biological phosphorus removal technologies. Using life cycle assessment (LCA) and digital twin modeling, the research evaluates three WWTP configurations under various phosphorus emission limits and coagulant types.
Points covered include:
- How chemical precipitation compares to biological phosphorus removal in terms of carbon emissions
- Which WWTP configurations are most energy-efficient and environmentally sustainable
- How phosphorus emission limits (0.3–1.0 mg/L) affect treatment performance
- The role of coagulants in shaping carbon footprint
- Why energy neutrality is more achievable with certain technologies
