Wastewater treatment, New South Wales {AU}| | AusLCI, U
Unit process Australia v00.00.000
Domestic wastewater treatment weigted avearage of Newcastle and Sydney as the main cities in New South Wales. Included processes: Energy inputs and Infrastructure materials for municipal wastewater treatment and greenhouse gas emissions and nutrient emission. Remark: Wastewater purified in a moderatly large municipal wastewater treatment plant. Direct emissions inlcuded in National Pollutant Inventory Reports have been included. Geography: Energy and emission data are specific to the region. Technology: Assume to mostly be three stage wastewater treatment (mechanical, biological, chemical) including sludge digestion (fermentation) according to the typical technology in Australia Version: 1.0 Record: Data entry by: Rahul Korattyile E-mail: info@lifecycles.com.au; Company: Lifecycles; Country: AU Generator: Data entry by: Rahul Korattyile E-mail: info@lifecycles.com.au; Company: Lifecycles; Country: AU
