Forthcoming articles have been peer-reviewed and accepted for publication but are pending final changes, are not yet published and may not appear here in their final order of publication until they are assigned to issues. Therefore, the content conforms to our standards but the presentation (e.g. typesetting and proof-reading) is not necessarily up to the Inderscience standard. Additionally, titles, authors, abstracts and keywords may change before publication. Articles will not be published until the final proofs are validated by their authors.

  • Digital decision-making platform for circular economy in wastewater treatment plants: PCJ watersheds case studies   Order a copy of this article
    by Sabrina De Oliveira Anicio, João Alexandro Ferraz, Tadeu Fabricio Malheiros 
    Abstract: This work aims to develop a digital decision-making support platform for planning circular economy in domestic wastewater treatment systems in urban areas. The freely accessible, interactive, Microsoft Excel-based platform is registered under a Creative Commons license. The tool evaluates the best alternatives for managing waste from wastewater treatment plants from a circular perspective, considering technologies and processes for recovering resources from sewage sludge and secondary effluent. The platform incorporates specific legislation, design parameters, and default costs for the state of S?o Paulo, while allowing users to fully adjust these inputs for any context across Brazil. The case studies showed that complementary sludge sanitisation processes can reduce operational costs by up to 50% and that the higher the volume of by-product considered, the lower the associated costs. It is hoped that the digital platform will be used as a decision-making strategy for government entities, regulatory agencies and operators.
    Keywords: circular economy; wastewater treatment plant; sewage sludge; water reuse; sustainability indicators; management; decision making; PCJ watersheds.
