According to the RF Government direction, 47 sector BAT reference books are to be developed during the 2015–2017 period in order to support the Russian legislation requirements aimed at implementation of the norms of impact upon environment at the best available techniques (BAT) level. Ten of them were developed and approved in 2015. Analysis of the text of one of the reference books, namely «Waste water treatment with the use of centralized water disposal systems of inhabited locations and urban districts» backed the presence of significant gaps in the BAT application methodological support. Analysis of the current Russian normative and methodological support of the BAT reference books development and application of the technological norms for the nature use management practice, as well as the relevant European experience is given. The issues of comparative assessment of nature users’ impact upon water bodies when using various techniques are considered. The possibility of the use of wide-spread European models for assessment of impacts upon environment in assessment of a product life cycle is shown. A number of recommendations and proposals including the necessity of a detailed revision of the BAT reference books development methodical support have been given. The principal requirements to such kind of support have been listed. Upgrading of the methodical support carried out on the basis of the wide discussion by all stakeholders is to be aimed at improvement of the BAT validity in the process of future editions of the BAR reference books publication, stipulated by the legislation.

The Impact

Waste water result from operating activities of Grati Combined Cycled Power Plant (CCPP) is significant amount and has potentially to be reutilized. A recycling unit as the pilot project has been applied in Grati CCPP PT Indonesia Power UP Perak Grati for capacity 4 tons/hour of service water product. Development plant of Grati CCPP up to year 2018 will produce more amounts of waste water, and potentially increase the pollution load in the unit area.Considering the use of alternative development for unit recycled waste water effluent from the Waste Water Treatment Plant (WWTP) has implications to the environmental and cost aspects, therefore a proper assessment to decide the alternative is needed. Proposed method of Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) is to measure the impact to the environment. And the Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) is to measure the economic criteria. To integrate the results of the two methods, it is used and calculated by using Hierarcy Analytical Process (AHP).The result of the study about the environmental impact and economic analysis, the development of the recycling unit is required to process all waste water produced by power plants. Focus group by experts in power plant operation using AHP is based on the results of SimaPro 7.0 and CBA. The most beneficial result is with a single score of 0.2314 Pt / 1 ton of water service, the payback period of 2.5 years, 37.5% IRR and NPV US$ 88,577.23 and the MMF-RO unit for total capacity of 14 tons/hour has become the most alternative of development.

An ASM2da model of the full-scale waste water plant of Bree (Belgium) has been made. It showed very good correlation with reference operational data. This basic model has been extended to include an accurate calculation of environmental footprint and operational costs (energy consumption, dosing of chemicals and sludge treatment). Two optimisation strategies were compared: lowest cost meeting the effluent consent versus lowest environmental footprint. Six optimisation scenarios have been studied, namely (i) implementation of an online control system based on ammonium and nitrate sensors, (ii) implementation of a control on MLSS concentration, (iii) evaluation of internal recirculation flow, (iv) oxygen set point, (v) installation of mixing in the aeration tank, and (vi) evaluation of nitrate setpoint for post denitrification. Both an environmental impact or Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) based approach for optimisation are able to significantly lower the cost and environmental footprint. However, the LCA approach has some advantages over cost minimisation of an existing full-scale plant. LCA tends to chose control settings that are more logic: it results in a safer operation of the plant with less risks regarding the consents. It results in a better effluent at a slightly increased cost.

Analysis of possibilities of the existing urban waste water treatment techniques has been presented. It is mentioned that the problem of the beat available techniques choice is inseparably linked with correction of the current normalizing system in terms of composition of not only treated waste waters but also in terms of requirements to enterprises that dispose water into a sewage network.

Some aspects of the history of waste water disposal systems regulation and setting of criteria of maximal permissible impact upon water bodies have been discussed. Approaches based on three various concepts, i.e. environmental, consumptive, and technological are the most wide spread both in this country and abroad. We have shown that the crisis of the currently active regulation system in this country is mostly connected with the lack of attention to the special features of the concrete water bodies natural hydro/chemical regime in the process of the double genesis substances disposal regulation.

Integrated Systems Analysis

Persistent polar pollutants (P3) are difficult to degrade in standard waste water treatment plants. As a result, they end up in the effluent and are emitted to the surface water. In some areas, this problem is aggravated through “closed loop recycling”, causing concentrations of P3 in surface water to build up over time. This could cause violation of (future) EU regulations. In the P-THREE project, various alternative waste water treatment techniques are investigated regarding their effectiveness in eliminating these substances, especially membrane bioreactor treatment and advanced oxidation processes, MBR and AOP. The integrated systems analysis which is the subject of this paper assesses these techniques in a broader systems context: (1) the life-cycle of the P3, (2) the life cycle of the WWTPs, and (3) the WWTP life cycle costs.

Abstract Purpose Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs) and Product Carbon Footprints (PCFs) have a significant potential for contributing to consumption-based approaches to climate change. This paper provides an important building block towards a theoretical model of the factors accounting for variations in the availability of life cycle data across countries. It does so by positing a mechanism linking industry associations’ institutional role within environmental policy processes to the availability of product life data and by empirically validating it. Methods Interviews, qualitative document analysis, web scraping, quantitative text analysis, set-theoretical causal reasoning, and process tracing. Results and discussion Environmental policies that stipulate industry-government deliberations and assign a coordinating or mediating role to industry peak associations can stimulate the exchange of environmental information among industrial sectors. The policy instruments of determination of ‘best available techniques’ (BAT) towards standard setting, negotiated collective agreements and carbon pricing all contribute towards the institutionalisation of organised information exchange within industry. This lowers transaction costs for the monitoring, reporting and verification of sectoral environmental data and can thus be conducive to the creation of sectoral life cycle assessment data, with positive knock-on effects on the availability of firm- and product-specific LCA labels. Conclusions Industry associations’ institutional role within environmental policy processes can partially explain cross-national variations in the availability of product life cycle inventories.
