About sewerage

NACE code 37.00 covers the sewerage industry, which plays a crucial role in the management and treatment of wastewater and sewage. This industry is essential for maintaining public health, environmental sustainability, and the proper functioning of urban and industrial areas. The sewerage industry is closely integrated with other sectors, such as 36.00 Water collection, treatment and supply and 38.00 Waste collection, treatment and disposal activities; materials recovery, making it a vital component of the broader waste management and water infrastructure systems.

Production process

The main production techniques used in the sewerage industry involve the collection, transportation, and treatment of wastewater and sewage. This typically includes the operation of sewer systems, pumping stations, and wastewater treatment plants. Treatment processes can vary depending on the specific requirements, but often involve mechanical, biological, and chemical methods to remove contaminants and purify the water before its discharge or reuse.

Production inputs

The sewerage industry requires a range of inputs, including sewer pipes, pumps, treatment equipment, and chemicals used in the purification process. Additionally, the industry relies on skilled personnel, such as engineers, technicians, and operators, to manage and maintain the infrastructure. Energy, in the form of electricity or fuel, is also a significant input for the operation of treatment facilities and transportation of wastewater.

Production outputs

The primary output of the sewerage industry is treated wastewater, which can be discharged into the environment or, in some cases, recycled and reused for various purposes, such as irrigation or industrial processes. The industry also generates byproducts, such as sewage sludge, which may be further processed and utilized in 38.21 Treatment and disposal of non-hazardous waste or 38.32 Recovery of sorted materials. The treated wastewater and byproducts can be consumed by a wide range of industries, including 01.00 Crop and animal production, hunting and related service activities, 36.00 Water collection, treatment and supply, and 38.00 Waste collection, treatment and disposal activities; materials recovery.
