The purpose of this report is to create an opportunity for water resource recovery facility (WRRF) energy managers to learn from the experiences of their peers. The five case studies presented in this report will aid other utilities that wish to improve their energy management programs. The “champions of change” profiled in this report all achieved high energy performance at their respective facilities.
Findings from the case studies may enable new ways of thinking about energy efficiency and recovery, and inspire and propel other WRRFs to consider approaches to move their facilities toward net zero energy. The findings also explore opportunities to save costs and enhance sustainability, as well as provide solutions to overcome obstacles common to energy projects. All WRRFs highlighted in this report possess three over-arching qualities that contributed to their success as energy performance leaders. These leaders:
Energy management extends beyond reduced consumption and improved efficiency. Management of energy cost volatility and control of peak demand and improved reliability are also critical factors in comprehensive energy management. The leading utilities profiled in this report took several specific actions to propel their facilities to high performance in energy management:
This work was performed to better understand the factors that impact trace organic compound (TOrC) biodegradation kinetics in mixed microbial cultures. To accomplish this goal, optimized short-...
Treated wastewater effluents contain high concentrations of particles; many of these particles are large (with diameters greater than 100 μm) and consist of densely-packed bacterial cells. ...
A study of trace organic compound (TOrC) reactivity to selected, advanced wastewater treatment processes was conducted as part of a demonstration-scale pilot study. The pilot facilities consisted...
This project addresses the need to remove trace organic compounds (TOrC) from wastewater, as well as potentially hazardous oxidation products. The general goal was to evaluate the efficacy of UV-...
