This document discusses opportunities to enhance the water-energy nexus at wastewater treatment plants. It notes that most water usage is for power supply and agriculture, while wastewater treatment only accounts for about 12% of total water withdrawals. The document outlines the typical wastewater treatment process and energy usage. It also discusses new biological treatment technologies using algae that can produce resources like fertilizer, feed, and biogas from wastewater. The document recommends broader adoption of on-site renewables, storage, biotreatment, and beneficial water reuse to improve sustainability and resilience at wastewater treatment plants.
Cities are usually viewed as sinks; pulling in water resources for domestic and industrial needs. But they can also be seen as sponges as they release water. Usually , however, this is of decreased quality. But if we can make better use of this contaminated water, we can help avert resource crises in the future.

Recycled water is wastewater that has been processed through primary, secondary and tertiary treatment and disinfected with chlorine.
Man-made water recycling, also known as water reclamation or water reuse, centers on using treated wastewater.
Recycled water, also known as "greywater," derives from residential water uses such as the bath, shower, washing machine, sink etc.
Across the globe, 2 out of 10 people do not have access to safe drinking water, and in the U.S., many states face water shortages and droughts.
In the U.S., we spend billions of dollars treating water to drinking water quality when we use only 10% of it for drinking and cooking, then flush most of the rest down the toilet or drain.
All water is recycled and reused as a part of natural water processes such as the hydrologic cycle.
Recycling wastewater can extend water supplies, improve water quality, reduce discharge and disposal costs of wastewater, and save energy.
Using recycled water reduces reliance on scarce and expensive surface water. It can also minimize groundwater overdraft and reduce discharges of treated wastewater into rivers and oceans.
Reduces the need to import water over long distances or pump our limited groundwater supplies

Water and Wastewater Mangement in India 2010 - SampleNetscribes, Inc.
Water is one of the most invaluable resources of nature and increasing water consumption is leading to its depletion. Various sectors across India are rapidly increasing and are actively contributing to the pollution of surface as well as groundwater. This calls for the active need of water management. Although water has been one of the most thriving and important issues amongst the government concerns, the private players are actively granting their support to market efficient techniques and equipments to manage water. The wastewater treatment market in India is growing at 20% and techniques like watershed management, rainwater harvesting, desalination, filtration, river-interlinking, effluent treatment and sewage treatment are finding huge importance in major cities which are the major contributors to water pollution in India.
The report begins with an overview of water situation and consumption structure in India across various sectors namely, agriculture, domestic and industries showing the growth in water consumption across the masses in India. This is followed by a section which depicts the amount of wastewater generated across sectors and the level of degradation.
It also highlights the lakes and water bodies that are under threat of depleting and being polluted.
The market overview section gives the size and growth of the wastewater treatment market and shows the various techniques of water and wastewater treatment. It also gives an in-depth analysis of the various techniques and their status in India. The characteristics and trends in the market have been analyzed and include increasing urbanization, initiatives taken at the corporate level, initiatives of various research and training institutes, increasing licensing agreements, various summits and seminars, initiatives for consumer awareness and public private partnerships. A brief analysis of the issues/challenges hindering growth are also highlighted including policy failures and institutional weaknesses, coordination and technological loopholes, multiplicity of organizations and inadequacy in generation of revenue to meet costs.
Various government bodies and programmes as well as initiatives by the NGOs that have been actively involved in conserving water and regulating its consumption and pollution have been showcased.
The competitive landscape provides a look into the nature of the market and the activities of the players and the level of competition between them. It also compares the private players according to the products and services provided by them. Brief profile with short description of the major domestic and foreign players is also included. Furthermore, key developments in the market over the last one year have also been highlighted.

Water is the “invisible utility”, whose usage patterns are too often overlooked by companies as a cost of doing business. Water bills can account for as much as 20% of a buildings’ utility cost and upwards in process applications. Compared to other countries, Canadian water prices are well below average. The cost of water is likely to rise as watersheds are depleted, water conservation and efficiency standards are legislated, and municipal governments increase rates to fund repairs to aging infrastructure. To reduce water utility bills, building owners must find ways to limit their consumption without sacrificing occupancy comfort.

A new world wildfires -2021111 for postingJim Dodenhoff
Abstract
From 2018 through 2021, Wildfires have emerged as one of the most destructive and deadly forces impacting energy resiliency around the globe. Dramatic new policy measures have been implemented in different jurisdictions with decidedly mixed results. Even less clear is whether these policy measures will truly ensure safe, reliable, and affordable energy------along with a modicum of reliability. This presentation will provide a detailed overview of the costs of wildfires within a resiliency framework, focusing upon California, Australia and other highly impacted geographic areas. Existing policy responses such as the Public Safety Power Shutoff (PSPS) program in California will be evaluated for efficacy. Evolving policies will also be reviewed----especially those that hold material potential to mitigate risk. Finally, for those areas with high wildfire risk, electricity market responses in the commercial and industrial (C&I) sector will be explored in detail. To what degree has wildfire risk expedited the shift from centralized utility electricity generation to distributed and/or third-party C&I electricity generation? Has this shift focused upon specific technologies (i.e. storage vs renewables vs fossil fuel generators). The presentation will assess
whether these market shifts are mitigating wildfire risks or simply creating greater complexity and variability.
How Changes to Time of Use (TOU) Rates are Impacting Commercial & Industrial ...Jim Dodenhoff
The significant penetration of solar energy in the electricity supply mix, especially in Western U.S. states, has resulted in profound changes to the shape of electricity system load curves. In the past, utility electricity suppliers with summer peak demand generally found their load peaking from mid-day to late afternoon. These same geographic areas have also been the most attractive candidates for solar implementation. The net effect has been a shifting of system net daily peak period to later in the day: spanning mid-late afternoon to early-late evening.
A guiding principle behind most ratemaking is to have electricity rates reflect real-time system costs. This provides higher pricing signals to the customer when the system has less available supply of electricity. Many utility tariffs are now either incorporating Time-of-Use (TOU) tariffs and/or moving their peak periods to later in the day to more accurately reflect net system peak and the impact of significant solar supply. These changes can have large cost impacts on Commercial & Industrial end users who have significant load in the evening hours.
This presentation will model these TOU tariff changes in California and other Western geographic areas. Energy management technologies such as energy storage and advanced controls will be analyzed as potential solutions to mitigate increased costs from TOU tariffs.
Finally, the carbon-intensity of unique utility electricity grids will be analyzed in the context of TOU peak periods. The author will present findings showing whether purchase of utility electricity during daily peak periods buys into a higher carbon emitting generation fleet, and to what degree.
In the first 15 years of the 21st Century there has been a steady growth in Microgrids driven by a number of factors including geography, resilience, and location specific economics. In the last five years this growth has accelerated as the cost of renewables and storage have dropped significantly allowing for integration of these distributed energy resources (DER's) into Microgrids. A key to this trend has been intelligent, cybersecure microgrid control solutions (MCS) which have algorithms that can execute sophisticated control strategies that manage power flows safely and optimally. It is the MCS which is the nervous system of the microgrid and the platform upon which Microgrids are becoming a mainstream and scalable energy solution.

"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.

2. Increased adoption of on-site renewables, storage, and
combined heat and power (CHP) modules
3. Environmental Regulatory Policy that recognizes biogas,
biofuels, and algae products as renewables
4. Greater Beneficial Use of Treated Wastewater
5. International Technology Transfer
31. RECOMMENDATIONS CONTINUED:
ACT LOCALLY, THINK GLOBALLY
1.8 Billion people globally consume contaminated drinking
water
In low income countries only 8% of wastewater is treated
Water Scarcity affects more than 40% of world population
> 40 Countries are “water stressed”
32. UN SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOAL #6-CLEAN
WATER AND SANITATION
By 2030
1. Universal & Equitable access to
drinking water
2. Access to adequate and equitable
sanitation and hygiene for all
3. Halve proportion of untreated
wastewater
4. Expand international cooperation and
capacity building support to developing
countries in water-and sanitation-
related activities and programmes
5. Support and strengthen participation of local communities in improving water
and sanitation management
Let’s see WWTP’s as the Resource
Centers that they are!
Our past research focused broadly on the Water Energy Nexus-----with particular focus on the linkage between energy conservation and water conservation measures at Water Distribution facilities.
We also noted that the Water-Energy Nexus quickly becomes a three-legged stool as it is virtually impossible to discuss water without also discussing food.
In California, agriculture comprises X% of overall water consumption. In Arizona, agriculture comprises Y% of the overall water consumption.
Over the past 3 decades, water conservation and energy efficiency have been concurrently operating at achieving their specific goals while symbiotically achieving the goals of the other.
Water Savings = Energy Savings and
Energy Savings = Water Savings
This schematic demonstrates the interplay of water flows and energy flows. (Blue Arrows Water, Red Arrow Energy)
EPA estimates 3-4 percent of national electricity consumption, equivalent to approximately 56 billion kilowatts (kW), or $4 billion, is used in providing drinking water and wastewater services each year.
-Water and wastewater utilities are typically the largest consumers of energy in municipalities, often accounting for 30-40 percent of total energy consumed.
Our initial research focused on Water Distribution Systems, and what we determined was that a Systems Approach was critical to understanding Water Distribution Systems and that the greatest opportunity for energy-water savings was in conveyance of supply and distribution of of treated water to end uses.
Today’s presentation focuses broadly on Wastewater Treatment and the opportunities for Energy and Water Conservation. We also take a peek at the importance of factoring in the beneficial use of treated wastewater.
At a high level, Wastewater Treatment has three primary objectives
Remove pathogens that could be dangerous to drinking water
Remove Nutrients (namely Phosphorus and Nitrogen) that could result in algae accumulation
Remove organics that contribute to low dissolved oxygen levels in water
Pause at the Primary, Secondary, Tertiary Graphic……….
This type of process, which is the most widely used in the industry, has many mechanical elementss: Pumps, mechanical aerators, blowers, diffusers, compressors, filters, and tanks. It also speaks to a paradigm where “dirty wastewater’ is “treated” primarily through addition of “cleaning chemicals” to “remove” the bad stuff and bad smells…..with the end product being cleaned water and “sludge” which might require additional treatment…………a Wastewater Treatment Plant. We’ll come back to this “old paradigm”.
*From EPA-This is # of Facilities that treat domestic wastewater from residential and commercial establishments
…..an additional 500+in older cities and major urban areas collect rainwater in the same pipes as domestic wastewater
15,000 + WWTP facilities in the U.S.*
Total flow of 33,000 MM Gallons/day
Serve 75% of U.S. Population
Vast Majority of WWTP’s publicly owned
WWTP Electricity Use 1-2% of Total U.S. consumption
Energy Use can range from 20-40% of the overall cost to operate a WWTP
WWTP Energy Costs key driver for muni/county budgets----a potential “budget breaker”
-Provide a brief overview of each Major Technology
-Note differences in Energy Intensity
40 CFR Part 503 for Biosolids………..(also applicable to algae solids from Wastewater Treatment)
-Minimum national requirements applicable to the use/disposal of sewage sludge
-Part 503 includes, for Class A and Class B
-Sewage Sludge quality limits
- Management practice requirements
-Monitoring/Recordkeeping/Reporting Requirements
-Additional State, local requirements
--Applicable to algae solids from Wastewater
“Typical” Energy Use Daily Cycle for WWTP roughly corresponds to timing of water use, although there can be delays based upon the distance between the collection system and the WWTP.
Notable that Energy Load Profile for WWTP doesn’t necessarily correspond to energy profile of utility….might be interesting to have an overlay slide which I’ll pull together.

Broader Use of Biotreatment Wastewater processing-While Biotreatment cannot be used everywhere all of the time, it certainly can be used to a greater degree to execute upon targeted processes at existing and new WWTP’s. Has inertia set in with Activated Sludge technology?
Increased adoption of on-site renewables, storage, and combined heat and power (CHP) modules. They bring many benefits to WWTP’s inclusive of lower EUI, greater resource recovery, and enhanced local control
Environmental Regulatory Policy that recognizes biogas, biofuels, and algae products as renewables. In some cases environmental policy, incentive programs, tax credits don’t recognize resources recoverable from WWTP’s as being renewable. This is a cognitive distortion that should be remedied to help level the playing field for these resources---taking into account proportional GHG impacts.
Greater Beneficial Use of Treated Wastewater-All “clean” wastewater is not equal. That which provides a beneficial use is making greater use of the resources required to “make it”----all things being equal.
International Technology Transfer-WWTP in the U.S. is generally accepted as a mandatory public service, and we’ve grown accustomed to having this service available in virtually all of the U.S.---on a reliable basis. Not so for much of the rest of the world---especially in developing countries. As it turns outs, the recommendations we offer are uniquely suited to addressing stand-alone or remote WWTP requirements in developing countries. We have a unique opportunity to provide technology transfer along a declining cost curve to nations which currently do not treat their sewage.
Only 8% of Wastewater Treated in Low Income Countries, vs 70% in high income countries
Latin America, Asia, and Africa wastewater pollution impacts 1/3 of rivers
Water stress occurs when the demand for water exceeds the available amount during a certain period or when poor quality restricts its use. Water stress causes deterioration of freshwater resources in terms of quantity (aquifer over-exploitation, dry rivers, etc.)
