General Statements by the International Energy Agency

It is well known:

Energy Supply depends on Water - Water supply depends on Energy

The interdependency of water and energy is set to intensify in the coming years, with significant implications for both energy and water security

Each resource faces rising demands and constraints in many regions as a consequence of economic and population growth and climate change

Today the energy sector accounts for 10% of global water withdrawals and 3% of consumption

Billions of people today lack access to clean drinking water and sanitation and 80% of wastewater is discharged untreated whereas energy is an essential part of the solution

Clean water means additional greenhouse gas emiss ions

Natural water sources

Energy demand = CO2 emission

Application to ESSITY caseScenarios

– Case 0: baseline scenario for tissue paper production at ESSITY in Finland (2017 data)

– Case 1: cut unnecessary freshwater addition (reuse of dust washers and Nash water, DIP white water system improvements…), completed in 2018

– Case 2: cross-rotational filtration (CR-filter) unit to reuse PM showers water, implemented in 2018

– Case 3: 3 CR-filters for the maximal reuse of PM showers water (simulation)

– Case 4: Recycling of bio-treated effluent for PM showers (simulation)

• Significant decrease of the carbon footprint thanks to the energy savings for freshwater heating �maximum reduction of 12.5 kT CO2-eq./yr

• Small effects on water footprint (equal water losses, limited impacts of heating use on the related indicators)

9

Main LCA findings for SPOTVIEWScenarios impact

• Significant impacts decrease (> 20%)– Combination of optimized scenarios for tissue paper (carbon

footprint only, minimal effects on other categories)– Replacement of river water by sea water for steel production

(water scarcity only, significant increase on other categories)– Recovery of milk compounds via submerged ultrafiltration

• Minimal effects for other strategies• How to further improve the environmental performances of

the developed strategies?– Reduce water losses– Reduce energy use– Explore the recovery of valuable substances


10

Main LCA findings for SPOTVIEWLimitations of the evaluation

• Reliability of performances data used:– Real operational data vs. simulations– Process / environmental conditions variability – Limited coverage of the consequences of strategies

• LCA methodology– Water footprint methods do not consider the dependency on

freshwater availability– Representativeness of background processes and LCIA

methods


11

Key messages

• Life cycle assessment (LCA) should be further included in the early-phase of technology development to identify the main environmental drivers and anticipate trade-offs

• LCA was successfully applied to 15 SPOTVIEW strategies and compared to the reference scenario for each sector

• Significant reductions of impacts were observed for 3 strategies, including one with a major trade-off between impact categories

• The developed strategies should further reduce water losses, energy use and recover valuable compounds to improve their environmental performances

• These outcomes should be interpreted carefully due to the limitations of the evaluation

Overall goals of LCA and LCC• Detecting

• environmental risks • relevant environmental impacts• potentials for improvements• financial consequences

• From local view point to a global view• From water to resource management




Recycling Remanufacture Reuse

Life Cycle Thinking: Environment ( LCA ) – Costs (LCC or TCO)

• LCC and LCA: Consider the whole life cycle • LCA

• takes into account a large number of environmental impacts

• based on scientific evidence

• quantifying the environmental impacts with indicators like ILCD, Ecol. Scarcity



3 cases – 3 different environmental hot spots and solutions

• At ArcelorMittal, it is the water and electricity used for the cooling circuit.

• At Sandvik, the scarce element phosphorus is of crucial importance.

• At Clariant, water consumption is dominant, as Tarragona is located in a region with severe water shortages.

– Recovery of valuable milk compounds currently wasted

– Improve overall company & sector sustainability

– Increased profitability

– Reduce of carbon footprint and the related CO2 emissions

• Challenges– Economic viability of the aaMBR technology

– Streams are “scattered” through the plant and it is difficult to be

collected

– Seasonality in some streams (i.e. whey)

– Scale-up and related possible fouling

– Legislation issues for reuse of compounds

Opportunities and exemplary results from back washing water case

• Water quality adjustable according internal requirements (e.g. < 200 µS/cm,

chloride < 50 mg/L, hardness: < 200 mg/L for reuse as cooling water)

• Water recovery back wash: 71% - energy demand 0.97 kWh/m³ (below RO)

• Removal efficiencies: Cl/hardness 88%, SO4: 66%, conductivity: 81%

• No disturbing effect of used cooling water treatment chemicals

• Production of high water qualities for e.g. rinsing process in surface treatment

– achieved in SPOTIVEW: 46 µS/cm (demi. water: 10 µS/cm)

Challenges for new applications beside cooling water treatment

• Possible interactions between treatment chemicals or water compounds –

investigations for determination of critical substances and removal necessary

• Solution of handling concentrates beside landfill – e.g. reuse as raw material

• Pre-treatment feed water composition partly similar to RO

Possible applications

• Treatment of more complex waters in iron and steel industry as gas washing

water or effluents from waste water treatment plans, e.g. biological treatment26.03.2019

Circuits closure by extensive reuse

of biotreated effluent - Saica Paper mills

Technologies: circuit closure via extensive reuse of clarified

water + recovery processes

- High flow kidney loop: washing out released organics and

dissolved Ca2+➔ recirculate up to 80% clarified water

- Replace fresh water by clarified water for less critical usages

➔ 20% fresh water saving

- Sustainability requires the implementation of additional

processes for heat recovery, valuable substances recovery,

fines separation and deionization

Opportunities & Challenges

• Opportunities

– Improving (steady scenario) or keeping (further closing the circuits) paper quality

thanks to a pulp cleared of detrimental substances

– Reduction in shut down time and machine cleaning

– Reduction in water dependency

– Overall improvement of water footprint

• Challenges

– Economic heat recovery in low temperature streams

– Control and recovery of highly soluble salts (Na+, Cl-), requiring further R&D work

– Additional fresh water reduction requiring implementation of filtering technologies:

membrane and dissolved air. Cost effectiveness may be questioned case by case.

– Circuits rearrangement is easier and less expensive in new mills
