Reducing energy consumption in industrial wastewater treatment

With energy prices reaching historic highs recently, industrial wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are searching for new ways to reduce energy while increasing efficiency. The energy-saving benefits extend beyond operational cost reduction – cutting consumption also helps WWTPs meet sustainability targets associated with greenhouse gas emissions.

In this whitepaper, two of our process engineers explore several energy-saving approaches based on extensive experience supporting our clients’ industrial WWTPs through each life-cycle stage and across various industries.

Saif Abualkaz, Senior Process Engineer, and Wesley van Kampen, Junior Process Engineer – both from Industrial Water and Wastewater at Royal HaskoningDHV – look at energy efficiency-related industrial wastewater treatment. They outline opportunities and challenges upstream and downstream of industrial WWTPs, as well as within plants.
