Sewerage

NACE v2.1 Code: E37.00

About sewerage

NACE code 37.00 covers the sewerage industry, which plays a vital role in the proper management and treatment of wastewater. This industry is responsible for the collection, treatment, and disposal of sewage, ensuring the safe and sustainable handling of waste products generated by households, businesses, and industrial facilities. As an essential component of a community's infrastructure, the sewerage industry contributes to public health, environmental protection, and the overall well-being of the population.

Production process

The main production techniques used in the sewerage industry involve a multi-step process. First, wastewater is collected through a network of sewer pipes and pumping stations. The collected wastewater then undergoes various treatment processes, such as screening, sedimentation, biological treatment, and disinfection, to remove contaminants and pollutants. The treated water is then either discharged into a receiving water body or recycled for other purposes, such as irrigation or industrial use.

Production inputs

The sewerage industry requires a range of inputs to function effectively. Key inputs include the sewer infrastructure, such as pipes, pumps, and treatment facilities, as well as energy sources to power the treatment processes. Additionally, the industry relies on specialized equipment, chemicals, and skilled labor to ensure the proper treatment and disposal of wastewater.

Production outputs

The primary output of the sewerage industry is treated wastewater, which can be discharged into the environment or reused for various purposes. The industry also generates byproducts, such as sewage sludge, which can be further processed and utilized in 38.21 Waste treatment and disposal, 38.32 Recovery of sorted materials, or 38.11 Collection of non-hazardous waste industries.
