SCENARIO
Reference energy scenario for this load estimate · simulator engine
what this estimate is · Inputs: 250 p.e. of reported load; equivalent average load 250 p.e. with the reference profile of Germany (hypothesis with reported load and reference profile; not a measurement). Open this scenario in the simulator · how it is calculated and what it is not.
Reference scenario computed on the server from the reported load and the country profile; an estimate, not a measurement. The simulator recomputes it when opened.
WATER THAT COULD RETURN
Reuse potential
what this estimate is · Volume estimated from the reported load (54 m³/day of reference), not measured or available for reclamation.

QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions about this plant
What capacity does WWTP SKA BUCH report?
Reported size: 380 h-e design capacity. Received load: 250 h-e. Units are retained without conversion.
What treatment is reported?
Treatment PST. Nitrogen, phosphorus and UV are shown only when explicitly reported.
How much energy would a reference plant use with the load of SKA BUCH?
Aguas SB simulator reference scenario for 250 p.e. of reported load: 18,590 kWh per year (74.3 kWh per p.e. of average load), with aeration as 54 % of consumption. Estimate with the country reference profile; not a measurement of the plant.
