Energy consumption, conservation and recovery in municipal wastewater treatment: an overview

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5711914
The potentials for energy consumption, conservation, and recovery at municipal wastewater treatment plants are relatively small compared to the national energy figures. Nevertheless they are significant, particularly to local owners and operators. Estimates of energy consumption, as well as opportunities for conservation and energy recovery in municipal wastewater treatment operations, are reviewed. The relationship between energy conservation and aquaculture based wastewater treatment systems is also introduced. Finally, current DOE activities in this area are presented.
