Project #4575
Finding Alternatives and Using Less Shortage Risk Chemicals in Water Treatment
$1
Abstract
This project investigated the long term strategic risk from chemical shortages, and options for replacing chemicals identified as having a shortage/escalating cost with alternative chemicals. It identifies potential new treatment options that have reduced/alternative chemical treatment requirements and lower energy and carbon emissions. The project also found recycling/recovery processes that will reduce chemical usage and costs. Research Partner: UKWIR. Published in 2015.
As of February 2021, the Water Treatment Chemical Risk Assessment tool is no longer available.
