Results Section of Hick’s Thesis on “Modeling Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Conventional
Wastewater Treatment Plants in South Carolina”
Representative Plant: Process Emissions
Representative Plant: Power Emissions
From previous slide, process emissions = 0.279 CO2e g/L which is close to emissions from energy
Representative Plant: Effect of Solids
