Wastewater Treatment Plant Management: Boosting Energy Efficiency

In one facility, the team was facing high energy costs, but they weren’t sure how to reduce consumption without compromising treatment quality. Units with low efficiency were consuming excessive energy, and identifying optimization opportunities was a priority.

That’s where WaterGuru came in. By analyzing daily energy consumption and influent flow rates, WaterGuru identified treatment units with the highest optimization potential. For instance, a unit with a high energy footprint and low efficiency was flagged for adjustment, and small operational changes reduced its energy use by 15%. WaterGuru even highlighted renewable energy integration opportunities, setting the facility on a path to sustainable cost reductions.
