Overview

Randomized trial assesses pollutant removal and carbon performance in municipal wastewater systems, indicating needed improvements in management.

Key Points

  • The study aims to evaluate the performance of municipal wastewater systems in Fujian, China, particularly focusing on pollutant removal and carbon emissions.
  • Assessed nine cities in Fujian from 2015 to 2024
  • Employed Monte Carlo uncertainty analysis and a dual-subsystem network SBM model
  • Analyzed GHG emissions and overall efficiency using Global Malmquist-Luenberger index
  • Treated wastewater volume increased significantly along with reclaimed water reuse and COD removal
  • Net GHG emissions rose from 364,100 to 498,400 t CO2-eq from 2015 to 2024
  • Mean overall efficiency was 0.690, with plant-side efficiency at 0.892 and network-side at 0.558
