LCA Study of Environmental Impacts of WWTP

This article reviews the environmental impacts of the wastewater treatment plant. The wastewater treatment plant is evaluated using a simplified LCA analysis, as only negative environmental impacts are assessed. The analysis takes place in 4 phases, which is interconnect and interact with another. It is important to correctly specify input data such as a functional unit, reference flow, system boundaries. Subsequently, a characterization model of the product system is created, what presents the wastewater treatment process with all input parameters.
