Conditions and circumstances of water availability is driving a major energy paradigm shift – away from historic technologies

Changing Water-Energy Landscape

What is Your Energy Bill Costing You? Water and wastewater facilities can reduce their electricity cost by as much as 40 percent Older buildings can waste 30 percent or more of the energy they consume

The Opportunities are Many…

• Primary clarifiers
• Mixing
• Aeration
• Nitrogen removal
• Sludge handling
• Variable speed drives
• UV disinfection

…So Are the Challenges

• In-house technical expertise
• Staffing for project management
• Onerous procurement process
• Prioritizing energy efficiency projects
• Incentive and rebate procedures
• Persistence of savings

…So Are the Challenges

• Energy is the second highest cost, after labor, for

most water/wastewater utilities,

• it is usually 10th in the ranking of utility priorities.

Many agencies lack internal staff resources and technical expertise to fully investigate deep energy retrofit opportunities.

A full range of energy efficiency services:

• Project management
• Comparative energy use analysis of facilities
• Investment grade energy audits
• Performance specifications
• Contractor Scope of Work development
• Construction management support services
• Expedited construction procurement services
• Financial services provided by PFM
• Ongoing energy management tools
• Objective third party review

A Novel Approach to Operational Efficiency

Process-Based Energy Management Strategy (PBEMS)

• Development of energy use profile
• Identify process interactions
• Risk mitigation
• Regulatory compliance
• Reduce wasted energy
• Long-Term Planning

Optimizing the Water-Energy Nexus

• Reducing energy usage requires a major shift in

HOW and WHY work is performed and energy is used

• Energy optimization is based upon a Best-Fit Curve
• f energy use for the work to be performed

You cannot optimize what you are not measuring If you are not measuring it, you cannot optimize it.

Measurement

Assessment

• What needs to be done?

Functional Analysis

• How is it being done?

Condition Assessment

• Can it be done better?

Technology Gap Analysis

• Does it change risk?

Risk Analysis Know how and where energy is used and for what purpose

Optimization

• Change applied energy to fit the demand curve, or
• Change the demand condition to match desired energy profile

Use exactly enough energy to perform the required work
