The inventory is mainly based on industry data and is completed, where necessary, by secondary data.0The data set represents the country specific situation in Belgium, focusing on the main technologies, the region specific characteristics and / or import statistics.Foreground system:
This data set covers all relevant inputs and outputs from the treatment of incoming waste water from municipalities . It contains mechanical, biological and chemical treatment steps for the waste water (including precipitation and neutralization), and treatment steps for the sludge (thickening, dewatering, drying, conditioning). The outflow water goes directly to the receiving water (natural surface water) and the outflow sludge is distributed according to Eurostat statistical data. The waste water composition to the plant represents an average outflow of a municipal commodity to the treatment plant with organic and inorganic substances or derivates from this average composition (see document "waste water composition"). The process steps are taking average elimination and transfer coefficients into account. The sewage passes through the bar screens for rag removal. In this section, automatic bar screen cleaners remove large solids (rags, plastics, etc.) from the raw sewage. Next, the sewage is transported to the grit tanks. These tanks reduce the velocity of the sewage so that heavy particles can settle to the bottom. In the separator suspended particles such as oils, fats are removed. The settlement tank can remove the larger suspended solids. FeSO4, and Ca(OH)2 are used as precipitant agents in the mixing tank to remove metals. Ca(OH)2 and H2SO4 to regulate the pH value. The primary clarifiers remove the suspended solids from the mixing tank prior to discharge to the aeration tanks. The aeration tanks provide a location where biological treatment of the sewage takes place. The activated sludge converts organic substances into oxidized products, which are settled out in the secondary clarifiers. Phosphoric acid is used as nutrient for micro-organisms. The cleared overflow in the secondary clarifiers goes to a natural surface water body (stream, river or bay). The settled solids, from the settlement tank, the primary clarifiers and secondary clarifiers, are pumped to the primary thickener where the solids are thickened (water content thickened sludge 96%). The sludge is pumped to filter presses for dewatering, which use chemical flocculants to separate the water from the solids (water content dewatered sludge 65%).
The sludge is processed via sludge incineration, via an agricultural application (use as fertilizer), deposited on landfill (inert good) or used for compost or other applications. The sludge treatments (except compost) are described as follows:
# Sludge incineration: In a first step the wet sludge is dried with thermal energy (water content of dried sludge 25%). The dried sludge is then incinerated in the waste incineration plant under the generation of energy. The generated energy is not accounted in this cut-off approach dataset.
# Agricultural application: The output of the Waste Water Treatment Plant is wet sludge with a water content of 65% and contains N, P2O5 and K2O according to statistics and calculations. No credit for the fertilizer is given. The impact of the agricultural use of fertilizer is not included; this shall be considered in the pre-system or the following system (e.g. application of waste water as a fertilizer to feed or bio energy crops).
# Landfilling of sludge from Municipal waste water treatment: refers to the documentation of the data set ‘Landfilling of sludge from Municipal waste water treatment’. The generation of energy by the combustion of landfill gas is not accounted in this cut-off approach dataset.
#Composting: No credits are given for the production of compost. No generated energy from the compost plant is accounted.
Background system:
Electricity: Electricity is modelled according to the individual country-specific situations. The country-specific modelling is achieved on multiple levels. Firstly, individual energy carrier specific power plants and plants for renewable energy sources are modelled according to the current national electricity grid mix. Modelling the electricity consumption mix includes transmission / distribution losses and the own use by energy producers (own consumption of power plants and "other" own consumption e.g. due to pumped storage hydro power etc.), as well as imported electricity. Secondly, the national emission and efficiency standards of the power plants are modelled as well as the share of electricity plants and combined heat and power plants (CHP). Thirdly, the country-specific energy carrier supply (share of imports and / or domestic supply) including the country-specific energy carrier properties (e.g. element and energy content) are accounted for. Fourthly, the exploration, mining/production, processing and transport processes of the energy carrier supply chains are modelled according to the specific situation of each electricity producing country. The different production and processing techniques (emissions and efficiencies) in the different energy producing countries are considered, e.g. different crude oil production technologies or different flaring rates at the oil platforms.
Thermal energy, process steam: The thermal energy and process steam supply is modelled according to the individual country-specific situation with regard to emission standards and considered energy carriers. The thermal energy and process steam are produced at heat plants. Efficiencies for thermal energy production are by definition 100% in relation to the corresponding energy carrier input. For process steam the efficiency ranges from 85%, 90% to 95%. The energy carriers used for the generation of thermal energy and process steam are modelled according to the specific import situation (see electricity above).
Transports: All relevant and known transport processes are included. Ocean-going and inland ship transport as well as rail, truck and pipeline transport of bulk commodities are considered.
Energy carriers: The energy carriers are modelled according to the specific supply situation (see electricity above).
Refinery products: Diesel fuel, gasoline, technical gases, fuel oils, lubricants and residues such as bitumen are modelled with a parameterised country-specific refinery model. The refinery model represents the current national standard in refining techniques (e.g. emission level, internal energy consumption, etc.) as well as the individual country-specific product output spectrum, which can be quite different from country to country. The supply of crude oil is modelled, again, according to the country-specific situation with the respective properties of the resources.Municipal waste water treatment and incinerationMunicipal waste water treatment and credit for use as fertilizerMunicipal waste water treatment and landfillMunicipal waste water treatment (sludge composting treatment)Electricity grid mixThermal energy from natural gasAverage treatment for urban (domestic) waste water.eol_municipal waste water treatment (sludge treatment mix, cut-off).jpgeol_municipal waste water treatment (sludge incineration, cut-off).jpgeol_municipal waste water treatment (agricultural sludge application, p-agg, cut-off).jpgeol_municipal waste water treatment (sludge deposited on landfill, cut-off).jpgeol_municipal waste water treatment (sludge composting treatment, cut-off).jpgeol_municipal waste water treatment_ sludge distribution_de1.jpgLCI resultAttributionalNoneAllocation - market valueAllocation - net calorific valueAllocation - exergetic contentAllocation - massForeground system: For the foreground system, no allocation was applied.
Background system: For the combined heat and power production, allocation by exergetic content is applied. For the electricity generation and by-products, e.g. gypsum, allocation by market value is applied due to no common physical properties. Within the refinery allocation by net calorific value and mass is used. For the combined crude oil, natural gas and natural gas liquids production allocation by net calorific value is applied.

Carbon storage and delayed emissions: credits associated with temporary (carbon) storage or delayed emissions are not considered in the calculation of the Global Warming Potential impacts for the default impact categories.
Emissions off-setting: not included
Fossil and biogenic carbon emissions and removals: removals and emissions are modelled as follows: All GHG emissions from fossil fuels (including peat and limestone) are modelled consistently with the ILCD list of elementary flows. In the case that the emissions refer to the molecules CO2 and CH4, they are modelled as ‘carbon dioxide (fossil)’ and ‘methane (fossil)’. Biogenic uptake and emissions are modelled separately. For land use change, all carbon emissions and uptakes are inventoried separately for each of the elementary flows. Soil carbon accumulation (uptake) via improved agricultural management is excluded from the model.NoneGaBi Modelling PrinciplesGaBi Water Modelling PrinciplesGaBi Agriculture Model DocumentationGaBi Land Use Change Model DocumentationGaBi Energy Modelling PrinciplesGaBi Refinery Modelling PrinciplesCut-off rules for each unit process: Coverage of at least 95 % of mass and energy of the input and output flows, and 98 % of their environmental relevance (according to expert judgement).
