Innovative Treatment Technologies – Balancing Nutrient Removal and Energy Management
The water industry needs change. One important step in this transformation is to turn wastewater treatment plants into sustainable integrated resource recovery facilities (IRRFs). To start this process, we must measure our current energy usage and greenhouse gas emissions. Until now, this measurement was mostly based on personal judgment and varied methods, making it subjective. This is particularly true for assessing biological treatment systems. Recent adoption of ISO standard 21939 means we can now use objective benchmarks to assess the energy consumption of an IRRF.
Discover the new ISO standard and its impact on energy assessments. Explore the latest methods and technologies employed to achieve a balance between specific energy and GHG reduction goals while also fulfilling more stringent nutrient removal requirements.
