Energy in municipal-wastewater treatment: an energy-audit procedure and supporting data base. Appendix A

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6378898
These procedures can be used by planning and operating personnel to estimate the energy requirements of construction and operating Waste Water Treatment (WWT) unit processes. Acquisition energy includes both the embodied energies of the raw materials and the energy consumed in construction. Operating energy consists of energy consumed in plant operation but does not include the energies embodied in consumables such as chlorine, oxygen, and maintenance materials. The estimating procedures are based on typical plants but may be varied for significant differences in design parameters.
