Evaluation of Energy Conservation Measures for Wastewater Treatment Facilities

This technical document will assist municipal utility owners and operators in finding information on cost-effective energy management and energy conservation measurers (ECMs) and technologies for reducing total energy usage in their wastewater treatment facilities.  The document presents technical and cost information about energy management and cost-effective energy conservation measurers and technologies.  Technical and cost data were developed from literature sources, as well as, from manufacturers and operating facilities contacted as part of this project.  The document provides preliminary information on innovative and emerging ECMs and technologies that have the potential for substantial energy savings.  In addition, the document includes nine in-depth facility studies that further examine the application and cost information for various full-scale, operational ECMs and technologies.
