Wastewater Treatment Plants – Savings Solutions
Wastewater treatment plants are high-energy demand facilities. In fact, the treatment of water and wastewater can account for 30-40% of the electricity used by mid-sized cities. You can reduce water supply costs and save resources by integrating water and energy efficiency strategies. Through pumping and aeration improvements, facility retrofits, and renewable energy solutions such as digester gas recovery and solar, Johnson Controls can help efficiently power your wastewater treatment plant.
Consumption levels in water and wastewater facilities can be reduced by at least 20% through the application of energy efficiency and operational changes. With the addition of renewable energy sources, your savings can be improved even further. We have the ability to deliver meaningful energy reductions to your water and wastewater treatment plant through our core competency and experience in energy efficiency.
Together, we can make a huge dent in your community’s energy budget by improving energy and water efficiency. Here are some examples of energy reduction measures:
- Raw water pumping
- High service pumps
- Backwash water pumps (filtration plants)
- Facility energy retrofits
- Renewable energy
Energy Efficient Measures for Wastewater Collection/Treatment/Reuse
- Wastewater lift pumps
- Aeration systems improvements (diffusers, controls, blowers)
- Digester gas to energy projects
- Pumping
- Facility energy retrofits
