Section S1 – Data acquisition, data quality and average inventory data of each WWTP range
Data acquisition
Regarding chemical products, acrylonitrile manufacture was used as a substitute
of polyelectrolyte (polyacrylamide) production, as described in Rodriguez-García et al.
(2011). In the case of the powdered and granular activated carbon, the production
process was modelled following the inventories suggested by Muñoz et al. (2006).
Aluminium polychloride and sodium aluminate were both created based on a personal
communication (María José Amores, Cetaqua, personal communication, October 2015).
The remaining chemicals were directly selected from the ecoinvent® database: sodium
hypochlorite 15 %, iron sulphate, iron (III) chloride, sodium hydroxide 50 %,
aluminium sulphate and lime. For the transport of these chemicals, trucks (3.5-7.5 t)
EURO 4 were selected as standard transport from the ecoinvent® database.
Three different types of waste generated in the pre-treatment phase were
considered in the assessment: municipal solid waste (MSW), grit and grease. A
municipal waste incineration plant with energy recovery was considered as the
management solution for the MSW. Grit was considered to be disposed of at an inert
landfill and greases stabilized with lime and cement before disposal in a secure deposit.
The alternative for sludge management was in all cases stabilization and composting.
Data quality
Based on the previous eco-efficiency analysis performed by Lorenzo-Toja et al.
(2015), in which a total of 113 WWTPs were assessed using the LCA+DEA method, a
thorough collection of operational data was accomplished.
2
Thereafter, a new WWTPs selection process was performed in order to avoid
data gaps. Hence, plants with available data for all the years in the following fields were
selected: flow, electricity consumption, sludge generation, MSW generation, grit
generation, grease generation, chemical consumption and water quality data from both
the influent and the effluent (COD, TSS, TN and TP). After applying these filters, the
number of WWTPs was reduced from 113 to 63 complete inventoried facilities. In a
second iteration, a set of meetings were held between the authors and wastewater
treatment experts to evaluate the quality of the data in the remaining WWTPs. At this
point 16 facilities were discarded due to unreliable waste generation and water quality
data. Once again, in a similar way as detected in Lorenzo-Toja et al. (2015), the
shortage of data quality was mainly identified in small WWTPs that lack continuous
operational control.
