Solar Wastewater Treatment Plant
The Solar Wastewater Treatment Plant harnesses solar
With rising energy costs and the worsening climate crisis, some wastewater treatment plants have started using solar energy. Because solar adoption at wastewater treatment plants is still relatively new, there is little known about these facilities, including where they are, what drove them to choose solar, and if solar has been a success.
It's also a necessity. Water treatment must be able to function no matter what. So, if there's a power outage, a water treatment plant has to have a backup. Most treatment plants run on energy generated from fossil fuels or nuclear power, but some are using renewable energy, specifically solar energy.
So in some cases, wastewater treatment facilities are— the municipalities are installing the solar on site and directly consuming that electricity. And many other scenarios, the municipality is entering what's called a power purchase agreement with a solar developer.
A containerised portable sewage treatment plant gives clients the option to relocate it onsite or easily transport it to new sites as necessary. In addition to that, the systems are modular so that they can work together in a variety of combinations effectively dealing with variable wastewater volumes to achieve any effluent quality.
