Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:293335
This manual addresses energy and how it is used in the operation of wastewater treatment plants (WWTP`s). It includes basic concepts of energy as well as describing the technical basis for the energy required for various unit operations and unit processes commonly found in WWTPs. It serves as an energy primer specific to wastewater treatment including helpful suggestions for controlling energy and energy costs. It is intended for WWTP managers and senior operators to provide a basis for greater comprehension of the concepts of energy and efficient energy use to better manage WWTP energy consumption. It`s also useful to the design engineer in selecting energy-efficient equipment and processes.
