Article Synopsis
- The study examined carbon emissions in a drinking water treatment plant (DWTP) in Tianjin, identifying a total carbon emission intensity of 0.254 kg·m, primarily from electricity use (81.76%) and chemical reagents (9.15%).
- Key areas contributing to electricity consumption emissions were the water supply pump house, ultrafiltration membrane process, and inlet pump house, with significant emissions from chemicals like sodium hypochlorite, which comprised 89.12%-90.30% of reagent emissions.
- The ultrafiltration process, while more efficient in reagent use (23% less), resulted in higher electricity consumption emissions compared to traditional methods, and water quality factors like turbidity and pH were found to influence carbon
