Results Section of Hick’s Thesis on “Modeling Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Conventional Wastewater Treatment Plants in South Carolina”
Representative Plant: Process Emissions
Representative Plant: Power Emissions From previous slide, process emissions = CO2e g/L which is close to emissions from energy
Representative Plant: Effect of Solids This column + This column = This column
Representative Plant: Exploring Additional Nutrient Treatment additional
Sensitivity of Results Very weak
Similarity of Results Comparison to Monteith et al but very weak
Overall Data and Analysis: 15 plants
Overall Data and Analysis: 15 plant correlations
Overall Data and Analysis: Generalized Influent Effect of different treatments Effect of different solids treatments Emissions from treatment and solids treatment are comparable
System Optimization for Secondary Treatment
