In response to strong growth in energy intensive wastewater treatment, public agencies and
industry began to explore and implement measures to ensure achievement of the targets …

This article examines the potential benefits of using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA) for
conducting energy-efficiency assessment of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs). WWTPs …

The wastewater sector accounts for 25% of the global energy demand in the water sector.
Since this consumption is expected to increase in the forthcoming years, energy optimization …

In this study, two methods for wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) dimensioning were
compared:(1) a traditional guideline-based approach, and (2) a mechanistic model-based …

About 55% of energy used in the South African water cycle is for wastewater treatment, with
the bulk of this energy associated with aeration in biological processes. However, up to 15 …

This paper illustrates how a dynamic model can be used to evaluate a plant upgrade on the
basis of post-upgrade performance data. The case study is that of the Eindhoven wastewater …

Wastewater treatment plants are commonly dimensioned based on rules of thumb and
expert knowledge without a clear specification of how uncertainties have been handled. The …

Similar to the global industry, the South African wastewater sector has historically focused
on achieving the primary objective of wastewater treatment of protecting the environment …

I Sverige saknas det formella riktlinjer för hur avloppsreningsverk ska dimensioneras. Det är
inte ovanligt att verken dimensioneras utifrån erfarenhet och tumregler utan att det …

This paper presents a prototype tool for design of Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs). It
is a model-based approach that explicitly accounts for both temporal variability and …
