ENERWATER project to standardize the energy audit and efficiency in municipal wastewater treatment plants

Abstract

This project will develop, validate and disseminate a standardized methodology for continuously assessing, labelling and improving the overall energy performance of Waste Water Treatment Plants. The methodology will be tested in 50 such plants. A collaboration network in the waste water treatment sector, including research groups, SMEs, utilities, city councils, authorities and industry, will be set up. Dialogue will be launched towards the creation of specific European legislation, ensuring effluent water quality, environmental protection and compliance with the Water Framework Directive
