A flare efficiency estimator (FEE) tool is part of Water Environment Research Foundation (WERF) project U2R08 entitled Methane Evolution from Wastewater Treatment and Conveyance under WERF’s Climate Change Program and funding from the New York State Energy Development Authority (NYSERDA). The FEE is based on the work of the Flare Research Group at the University of Alberta (UoA) and it will help estimate the fugitive greenhouse gas (CH4) emissions from the unprotected ‘candlestick’ flares for digester gas and landfill gas flares.
Benefits:
Methane Evolution from Lagoons and Ponds
These case studies focus on the CH4 emissions from wastewater treatment in photosynthetic oxidation ponds and facultative sludge lagoons. These area-intensive processes are for cryophilic-to-...
N2O and CH4 Emission from Wastewater Collection and Treatment Systems: State of the Science Report and Technical Report
In a world where there is a growing awareness of the possible effects of human activities on climate change, there is a need to identify the emission of greenhouse gases (GHG) from wastewater...
Identification of Barriers to Energy Efficiency and Solutions to Promote These Practices
Successful deployment of energy efficiency initiatives may be increased by recognizing barriers and advancing strategies that overcome them. A national survey recently collected input on barriers...
Methane Evolution from Wastewater Conveyance
Available as eBook only
Methane (CH4) production from sewers is a suspected, yet relatively undocumented source of greenhouse gases (GHGs). The Intergovernmental Panel on...
Decentralized Stormwater Controls for Urban Retrofit and Combined Sewer Overflow Reduction, Phase 2
Phase 1 of this project demonstrated the technical feasibility of using decentralized stormwater controls in urban areas for retrofits and controlling combined sewer overflows. This technical...
Chemical Exposure and Effects in Freshwater Aquatic Species
To protect aquatic ecosystems from stresses induced by toxic chemicals, risk models must be developed, calibrated and verified for feral populations. Although risk models require good estimates of...
Understanding Viability of Pathogens During Disinfection
Municipal wastewater is the largest reservoir of enterobacteria (total coliforms) and a host of other microorganisms. Wastewater also harbors a range of pathogenic, opportunistic pathogenic, and...
Attenuation of PPCP/EDCs Through Golf Courses Using Recycled Water

A multi-year, collaborative study was conducted to investigate the fate and transport of pharmaceuticals and personal care products (PPCPs) in soil...
Evaluating Waterbody Assessment and Listing Processes: Integration of Monitoring and Evaluative Techniques
In order to facilitate more effective integration of monitoring data and technically sound assessment methodologies into the waterbody assessment and listing process, a critical evaluation of the...
The Governance of Water Regulators
The establishment of dedicated regulatory bodies in charge of regulating water services, whilst being recent, is nevertheless a consistent trend among OECD and non-OECD countries. This report...
Estimating Health Risks from Infrastructure Failures
Health risks from infrastructure failures are not well understood, despite the potential widespread introduction of chemical, microbial, and physical contaminants, as well as...
Analysis of Existing Community-Sized Decentralized Wastewater Treatment Systems
This nationwide study has gathered data/information for and examined the performance of large-scale decentralized and small community wastewater systems and flows...
