Multi-point monitoring of nitrous oxide emissions in three full-scale conventional activated sludge tanks in Europe.

The large global warming potential of nitrous oxide (NO) is currently of general concern for the water industry, especially in view of a new regulatory framework concerning the carbon footprint of water resource recovery facilities (WRRFs). NO can be generated through different biological pathways and from different treatment steps of a WRRF. The use of generic emission factors (EF) for quantifying the emissions of WRRFs is discouraged.
