Download or read book Life cycle Assessment of Full scale Membrane Bioreactor and Tertiary Treatment Technologies in Fruit Processing Industry written by Tong Chu and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Life-cycle assessment (LCA) was conducted to quantitatively assess the total environmental impacts of membrane bioreactor (MBR) and tertiary technologies treating wastewater in the fruit processing sector, allowing comparisons on the impacts of different treatment options, including impacts without on-site treatment. The system boundaries for all scenarios comprise raw materials extraction and processing, transportation, construction, operation and waste disposal. SimaPro 8.0.4.26 was used as the software tool, and two impact assessment methods (ReCiPe v1.11 and TRACI v2.1) were applied. Results showed that MBR combined with RO and UV contributed the least damage to the ecosystem, and minimized eutrophication impacts from the sewage when compared to the non-treatment scenario. Treating wastewater in municipal wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) would mitigate eutrophication effects, but it resulted in more environmental impacts from categories such as climate change and human health compared with implementing on-site treatment systems.

Download or read book Life Cycle Assessment Circular Economy written by Subramanian Senthilkannan Muthu and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2023-08-08 with total page 135 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This contributed volume offers several cases in life cycle assessment (LCA) and implementation of circular economy principles across different industries. LCA is a tool which is utilized to measure the environmental footprints of various products from inception through disposal. Circular economy, a related concept, presents a meaningful alternative to a traditional linear economy as it seeks possible ways to reduce waste, recover resources at the end of a product’s life, and channel them back into production, thus significantly reducing environmental impacts. LCA and CE complement each other, as the former can be used to meaningfully assess possibilities for the latter. The combination of the principles of CE and LCA enable product developers to quantify the environmental performance of various products, processes and supply chain configurations in order to make progress toward sustainability.
