Overview

This analysis evaluates pollution reduction and carbon emissions in wastewater treatment plants, suggesting improvements for sustainability.

Key Points

  • Wastewater treatment plants demonstrated a strong synergy in reducing pollution and carbon emissions, particularly those using the A2/O process.
  • Approximately 80% of evaluated plants achieved effective pollution and carbon synergy, especially those with larger scales over 50,000 t·d-1.
  • The synergy index showed a positive correlation with pollutant reduction but a negative correlation with carbon emission intensity and treatment costs.
  • Improving energy-saving measures in wastewater treatment is critical for achieving better pollution and carbon reduction outcomes.
