This Excel-based life cycle inventory (LCI) model develops LCI data for management of wasted food via anaerobic digestion (AD), windrow and aerated static pile (ASP) composting, landfilling and incineration. The inventory model is run for the following scenario options: >AD biogas fate: flare, combined heat and power (CHP) and renewable natural gas (RNG) >Landfill gas fate: flare, electric engine, and RNG >Compost method: windrow and ASP >Incineration technology: Grate furnace - mass burn >Digestate management: compost + land application, land application of whole digestate and digestate landfilling >Land application modeling is limited to avoided fertilizer credits and carbon sequestration benefit. Estimating emissions associated with land application is beyond the scope of this model. Implicitly, emissions associated with compost and digestate are assumed to be equivalent to those from avoided synthetic fertilizer, leading to a net zero change in impact when changing nutrient sources. The output is stored in the 'LCI' tab which can be exported into a csv or other text-based file. Definitions for the field names in the LCI sheet is included in the 'LCI Key' tab.

This study calculated the cumulative energy and greenhouse gas (GHG) life cycle and cost profiles of transitional aerobic membrane bioreactors (AeMBR) and anaerobic MBRs (AnMBR). Membrane bioreactors (MBR) represent a promising technology for decentralized wastewater treatment and can produce recycled water to displace potable water. Energy recovery is also possible with methane generated from AnMBRs. In this study, scenarios for these technologies were investigated for different scale systems serving various population densities under various climate conditions with multiple methane recovery options. Details of the GHG life cycle and cost profiles for the AeMBR and AnMBR can be found in AeMBR_LCI_Cost_9-9-15.xls and AnMBR_LCI_Cost_9-9-15.xls respectively. Results of the previously described comparisons can be found can be found in MBR_LCIAResults_9-9-15.xlsx. This dataset is associated with the following publication: Cashman, S., C. Ma, J. Mosley, J.
