Development of a Web-Based, Emissions Reduction Calculator for Storm Water/Infiltration Sanitary Sewage Separation
Abstract
This paper presents the procedures developed to
calculate the electricity savings and emissions
reductions from the infiltration of storm water into
sanitary sewage separation using a two-step
regression method: one step to correlate the gallons
of wastewater treated to the rainfall, and a second
step that correlates the gallons of wastewater treated
to the electricity consumed during a given period.
The procedure integrates ASHRAE’s Inverse Model
Toolkit (IMT) for the weather-normalization analysis
and the EPA’s Emissions and Generations Resource
Integrated Database (eGRID) for calculating the NOx
emissions reductions for the electric utility provider
associated with the user.
