REGULATORY REFERENCES
Referencia normativa: Italy

SCENARIO
Reference energy scenario for this load estimate · simulator engine
what this estimate is · Inputs: 286 p.e. of reported load; equivalent average load 197 p.e. with the reference profile of Italy (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 (57 m³/day of reference), not measured or available for reclamation.

QUESTIONS
Frequently asked questions about this plant
What capacity does WWTP FOSSANOVA report?
Reported size: 300 h-e design capacity. Received load: 286 h-e. Units are retained without conversion.
What treatment is reported?
Treatment ST. Nitrogen, phosphorus and UV are shown only when explicitly reported.
How much energy would a reference plant use with the load of FOSSANOVA?
Aguas SB simulator reference scenario for 286 p.e. of reported load: 18,442 kWh per year (93.8 kWh per p.e. of average load), with aeration as 48 % of consumption. Estimate with the country reference profile; not a measurement of the plant.
