Sustainability Metrics for Assessing Water Resource Recovery Facilities of the Future.

The recovery of water, energy, and nutrients from water resource recovery facilities (WRRFs) is needed to address major global challenges, such as increasing water demand and decreasing availability of non-renewable resources. To meet these challenges, innovative technological developments must lead to increased adoption of water and resource recovery processes, while addressing stakeholder needs (e.g., innovators, practioners, regulators). A testbed network of over 90 partner facilities within the U.S. and abroad will help accelerate innovation and widespread adoption of novel processes through multi-scale testing and demonstration of technologies. In this paper, we define a common set of environmental, economic, technical, and social performance metrics for innovative technologies that will meet the needs of multiple stakeholders in the decision-making process. These triple bottom line performance metrics can be used to track the sustainability of technologies in a consistent and transparent manner, while aiding the decision making process for WRRFs of the future.
