Guidelines for performance evaluation of treatment technologies for water reuse systems - Part 2: Methodology to evaluate performance of treatment systems on the basis of greenhouse gas emissions

This document provides guidelines for evaluating the performance of treatment systems on the basis of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions.

In order to estimate greenhouse gas emissions from a treatment system, this document covers the estimate, types of GHG emission and sources, emission factor for each GHG, and global warming potential. The weight of greenhouse gases to be used in an evaluation is equivalent to emissions during operation of a treatment system.

This document also defines a method for calculating carbon dioxide equivalent (CO_2eq) emission intensity, in which GHG emissions are divided by the volume of reclaimed water. It also includes a method for evaluating the performance of a treatment system using CO_2eq emission intensity.

To comply with a standard, you need to quickly understand its issues in order to determine its impact on your activity.

The Requirements department helps you quickly locate within the normative text:
- mandatory clauses to satisfy,
- non-essential but useful clauses to know, such as permissions and recommendations.

The identification of these types of clauses is based on the document “ISO / IEC Directives, Part 2 - Principles and rules of structure and drafting of ISO documents ”as well as on a constantly enriched list of verbal forms.
