Use advice for data set When using this data set, ensure that your Life Cycle Assessment correctly distinguishes the separate impacts of the anaerobic and aerobic processes, as their environmental profiles differ significantly. Consider the potential for energy recovery from biogas in the case of anaerobic treatment and account for any possible emissions from both treatments. Additionally, if modeling the wastewater treatment as part of a larger system, consider the upstream and downstream impacts, including the treatment of sludge and the discharge quality.

Data set use approval

General comment In the anaerobic treatment phase, anaerobic bioreactors such as anaerobic ponds or anaerobic fermentation tanks are employed, where organic matter is broken down into smaller organic compounds and gases in an oxygen-free environment. The aerobic treatment phase typically utilizes aerobic bioreactors such as activated sludge or biofilm processes, where organic matter and ammonia nitrogen are further oxidized by oxygen and aerobic microorganisms to meet discharge standards.

Technical purpose This industrial process involving both anaerobic and aerobic treatment units is used in wastewater treatment plants to break down organic pollutants. The anaerobic treatment processes biodegradable waste without the presence of oxygen, typically resulting in the production of biogas, while the aerobic treatment uses oxygen to convert organic materials into carbon dioxide, water, and biomass.
