Nitrous oxide containment hood
Douna develloped and delivered Nitrous oxide containment hood
Nitrous oxide (N₂O) is a potent greenhouse gas, with a global warming potential 273 times greater than CO₂. Within the TKI project on monitoring, modelling, and reducing N₂O emissions from WWTPs, we aim to gain a deeper understanding of these emissions and develop effective strategies to reduce them.
A second real-time monitoring setup has now been successfully deployed at WWTP Nieuwe Waterweg (Hoek van Holland, Hoogheemraadschap van Delfland). This builds on the ongoing monitoring campaign at WWTP Utrecht (Hoogheemraadschap De Stichtse Rijnlanden), enabling us to track N₂O emissions at two wastewater treatment plants with different process configurations.
Over the coming months, we will measure real-time and continuous N₂O emissions in the gaseous phase, capturing both daily and seasonal variations in this harmful greenhouse gas. By combining these emissions with operational process data, we can calculate emission factors and gain insight into the conditions that drive N₂O formation. Given we are now monitoring simultaneously in two different WWTPs that have different process configurations, it also gives us an interesting opportunity to compare the N₂O emission dynamics between different plants.
