Water & Wastewater Infrastructure (eBook, ePUB)

Energy Efficiency and Sustainability

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

This book addresses the challenges faced by water and wastewater treatment facilities by examining how they can operate in ways that provide economic and environmental benefits, save money, reduce environmental impact, and lead to sustainability. It discusses the best management practices, innovations, cost-cutting measures, and energy efficiency procedures. With energy use now the highest operational cost factor in water plants, the text pays considerable attention to replacing conventional energy supplies with renewable energy sources, discussing these sources and their possible application in detail.
