Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of carbon emission calculation, and in particular to a method and system for calculating carbon emission from a municipal sewage treatment plant. Background Art
[0002] As the global climate change problem becomes increasingly serious, reducing greenhouse gas emissions has become a common responsibility of the international community. As an important municipal infrastructure, urban sewage treatment plants produce a large amount of greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide (CO2), methane (CH4) and nitrous oxide (N2O), in the process of treating sewage. These gases have a significant impact on global climate change. Therefore, accurate measurement and accounting of carbon emissions from urban sewage treatment plants is of great significance for formulating effective emission reduction strategies and achieving sustainable development.
[0003] However, existing carbon emission measurement methods often lack systematicity and accuracy, and it is difficult to fully reflect the actual carbon emissions of sewage treatment plants. Some methods rely on estimates and assumptions rather than actual measurement data, resulting in large errors in the measurement results. In addition, existing systems usually do not integrate the accounting of negative carbon emissions, such as the use of sewage heat energy, the use of biogas produced by anaerobic digestion of sludge, and the use of recycled water instead of tap water. These measures can significantly reduce the carbon footprint of sewage treatment plants.
[0004] To this end, the present invention proposes a more accurate and comprehensive method and system for measuring carbon emissions from urban sewage treatment plants, aiming to provide sewage treatment plants with a comprehensive and accurate carbon emissions management tool through advanced data collection, accounting and reporting mechanisms.

Data collection: Through the data collection module, the sewage treatment plant’s influent water quality data (such as BOD5, TN, CODCr), energy consumption data (electricity, fuel consumption), reagent usage data (carbon source, flocculant, disinfectant) and equipment operation data (blower, pump) are collected; these data provide basic data support for subsequent carbon emission accounting; S02. Direct carbon emission accounting: Using the direct carbon emission accounting module, the emission factor method module calculates CH4 and N2O emissions based on the emission factors provided by the IPCC; the material balance method module estimates CO2 and CH4 emissions through the mass balance principle; the dynamic mechanism model method module predicts greenhouse gas emissions by simulating microbial biochemical reactions in the sewage treatment process; the field measurement data is collected through the measurement method module to directly calculate emissions; S03. Indirect carbon emission accounting: Through the indirect carbon emission accounting module, the carbon emissions caused by electricity and fossil fuel consumption are calculated through the energy consumption emission submodule; the carbon emissions during the production and transportation of chemical agents are calculated through the material consumption emission submodule; S04. Negative carbon emission accounting: Use the negative carbon emission accounting module to estimate the carbon emission reduction from wastewater heat energy recovery and utilization through the wastewater heat energy utilization submodule; Through the sewage chemical energy utilization submodule: estimate the carbon emission reduction from the utilization of biogas produced by anaerobic digestion of sludge; The tailwater recycling submodule is used to estimate the carbon emission reduction of using recycled water instead of tap water; S05. Carbon emission report generation: Through the carbon emission report module, the calculation results of each module are summarized to generate a carbon emission report containing key indicators such as total carbon emissions, emission intensity, and emission factors; S06. Optimization suggestion provision: Based on the carbon emission accounting results, the optimization suggestion module provides operation optimization suggestions, including strategies in energy management, process improvement, and resource recovery to reduce carbon emissions; S07. System integration and user interaction: Through the system integration module, all modules are integrated into a unified platform to ensure smooth data and information flow and achieve effective communication between modules; The user interface module provides a user operation interface, including data input, result display, and report generation, allowing users to select different calculation methods and parameters according to different needs.
