TLDR
Life Cycle Assessment is used to evaluate different disinfection treatments and to assess the environmental advantages and drawbacks of urban wastewater reuse in non-potable applications and to compare the environmental impacts of producing 1m(3) of water from reclaimed water, potable water and desalinated water sources.About:

Energy-nutrients-water nexus: integrated resource recovery in municipal wastewater treatment plants.
Weiwei Mo,Qiong Zhang +1 more
TL;DR: There is a need to evaluate the applications of the resource recovery methods in wastewater treatment plants from a life cycle perspective and the combined benefits and potential tradeoffs of these methods under different scales are evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Can Direct Conversion of Used Nitrogen to New Feed and Protein Help Feed the World
TL;DR: The increase in the world population, vulnerability of conventional crop production to climate change, and population shifts to megacities justify a re-examination of current methods of converting reactive nitrogen to dinitrogen gas in sewage and waste treatment plants.

Microalgae biomass production using wastewater: Treatment and costs
Luísa Gouveia,Sofia Graça,Catarina Sousa,Lucas Ambrosano,Belina Ribeiro,Élberis Pereira Botrel,Pedro Castro Neto,Ana Ferreira,Carla Silva +8 more
TL;DR: In this article, a vertical tubular photobioreactor (PBR) prototype was scaled up and integrated in a waste water treatment plant (WWTP), which achieved volumetric productivities of 0.1, 0.4, and 0.9% for Cv, Sc, and ConsC, respectively.

Life cycle assessment of sewage sludge management: A review:
TL;DR: Large discrepancies were found in the selection of the environmental emissions to be included and how they were estimated in the analysis, and consolidation of the modelling approach in the following area are recommended: quantification of fugitive gas emissions and modelling of disposal practices.

Comparative life cycle assessment of wastewater treatment in Denmark including sensitivity and uncertainty analysis
TL;DR: In this article, a comparative Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) of four types of WWTPs, representative of mainstream treatment options in Denmark, is presented, and the results show that recycling phosphorus to agricultural soils appears as a more sustainable alternative compared to the incineration of sludge.

Peer Reviewed: Recovering Sustainable Water from Wastewater
Audrey D. Levine,Takashi Asano +1 more
TL;DR: For water supplies to be sustainable, the rate at which water is withdrawn from water sources needs to be in balance with the rate of renewal or replenishment, and water quality must also be sustainable or recoverable.

Life cycle assessment of MSF, MED and RO desalination technologies
TL;DR: In this paper, a comparison of the commonly deployed commercial desalination technologies worldwide is assessed by applying life cycle analysis (LCA), a powerful, and internationally accepted tool used to examine environmental cradle-to-grave consequences of making and using products and services.
Journal ArticleDOI
LCA as a decision support tool for the environmental improvement of the operation of a municipal wastewater treatment plant.
TL;DR: The best environmental option for the final destination of the sludge is to combine the current situation (fertilizer replacement) with use of theSludge in a cement plant (as a replacement for fuel and raw material).
