Water utilities worldwide have risen to the challenge over the last decade of reducing the amount of energy used to transport and treat water and wastewater. As well as the large cost savings that result from successful energy saving measures there are also secondary benefits in terms of GHG reductions and often the detailed process scrutiny necessary to deliver energy saving has led to a marked improvement in overall plant performance. As a result it is quite common for facilities to have a comprehensive energy management program that covers every aspect of the facility's energy use. This has helped to deliver energy savings of 10% or more across the range of treatment options and it is clear that more is possible. Dissemination of the range of energy saving measures that have been employed across the industry is now underway and these include many examples of innovation and novel thinking. Energy in all its form has been examined and exploited from the heat in sewage through to the hydraulic head in pumped water. The water and energy utilities have collaborated to manage demand peaks and deliver savings through better demand management, and where feasible renewable options such as wind, solar and hydro have been installed. With this in mind, it is the aim of this one-day event to examine the options that have been implemented for energy reduction throughout the wastewater treatment process. It will examine each aspect of the process from raw wastewater through preliminary, primary and secondary treatment as well as opportunities available for energy recovery from sludge. Based around case studies from within the UK Water Industry, delegates will learn of the many opportunities that still exist for energy reduction. It will consider some quite novel options to deliver smaller savings as well as recent advances in those processes such as pumping and aeration, where the bulk of energy is used. Delivered by active practitioners it will provide a valuable update to your own energy management plan and should repay your attendance with the savings you can make at your own treatment plant.
