Where and when
6-7 July 2017
Municipal wastewater in Europe contains a potential chemical energy of 87,500 GWh per year in its organic fraction, which is equivalent to 12 large power stations! However, due to the currently applied technologies and related energy loss at each process step, wastewater treatment in Europe consumes instead the equivalent of more than 2 power stations. While many operators are targeting incremental energy efficiency towards energy neutrality, recent studies have shown that with novel process schemes sewage treatment plants could actually become a new source of renewable energy, this without compromising the treatment performance.
About the Programme
These demonstrated strategies include:
- Carbon extraction for energy recovery into biogas
- Nitrogen removal in the main stream
- Biogas valorisation and efficient energy management
- Nitrogen management in side stream
