VMM: Meetnet afvalwater van de Vlaamse Milieumaatschappij
Description in English
The wastewater monitoring network investigates the discharges of enterprises and public sewage treatment plants. The measurements by the Flemish Environment Agency (VMM) are done in function of the calculation of the correct levies on waste water and the regional and international reporting duties. The employees of the waste water monitoring network also check the measurements on enterprise waste water done by independent acknowledged labs . The measuring results are primarily meant for the development of an emission-inventory. Data which are recorded in this inventory are consulted by users within and outside the VMM. The data on the sewage treatment plants in the emission inventory are also used to calculate the efficiency of the plant in order to get an idea about the efficient working of the entire water purification infrastructure.
Description in nl
Het meetnet afvalwater onderzoekt de lozingen van bedrijven en van openbare rioolwaterzuiveringsinstallaties (RWZI’s). De metingen van de VMM gebeuren enerzijds voor de berekening van een juiste heffing op afvalwater en anderzijds in functie van regionale en internationale rapporteringsverplichtingen. Voorbeelden hiervan zijn metingen in het kader van waterkwaliteitsmodellering en metingen in het kader van de IPPC-richtlijn. De medewerkers van het afvalwatermeetnet controleren ook de metingen die onafhankelijk erkende laboratoria op bedrijfsafvalwater uitvoeren. De resultaten van de metingen bij bedrijven en bij RWZI’s dienen in de eerste plaats voor de opmaak van een emissie-inventaris. De gegevens opgeslagen in deze emissie-inventaris worden geraadpleegd door gebruikers binnen de VMM (voor het adviseren van milieuvergunningen, het opstellen van algemene waterkwaliteitsplannen en investeringsprogramma’s) en buiten de VMM. De gegevens van de RWZI’s in de emissie-inventaris worden ook gebruikt om het rendement van de zuiveringsinstallatie te berekenen en een beeld te krijgen van de al dan niet efficiënte werking van de gehele waterzuiveringsinfrastructuur.
