Energy-Efficient System Design for Wastewater Treatment Plants
Energy-Efficient System Design for Wastewater Treatment Plants
Energy is a huge portion of a WWTP’s operating costs, with aeration blowers a significant user. System-splitting with adaptive control reduces electrical, maintenance and initial investment costs.
The Water & Wastes Digest staff invites industry professionals to nominate the water and wastewater projects they deem most remarkable and innovative for recognition in the Annual Reference Guide issue. All projects must have been in the design or construction phase over the last 18 months.
Figure1: Heating Recirculation Loop. In a typical recirculation configuration, less than 2% of the mix (dark blue) is circulating at an acceptable velocity, indicating this is not a well-mixed tank.
