Assessment of the economic and environmental impact of technologies for the treatment of wastewater and other waste, as well as the study and evaluation of new alternatives to reduce the economic and environmental impact in the wastewater treatment sector, through the application of the Life Cycle Assessment Tool. This tool makes it possible to evaluate the sustainability of different technologies, both from an economic (LCC, Life Cycle Costing) and environmental (LCA, Life Cycle Assessment) point of view. These tools serve as a basis for the development of Decision Support Systems (DSS) for decision-making in the design and monitoring of treatment systems.
