Abstract: Sweating the Assets-Optimizing WWTP Design and Operation
Day 3: December 10, 2020 at 11:55 AM AT
Detailed process analysis during design and for WWTP operation can reveal optimization opportunities that can be beneficially exploited for capital and operational cost savings. This presentation will discuss case studies employing such optimization measures that led to significant capital benefits to the WWTP owners. The cases presented are based on projects completed by RVA on WWTPs in southwestern Ontario including WWTP stress testing for higher capacity approval, energy optimization in plant operation, and cost-effective fixed media upgrades of existing WWTPs for Higher Capacity.
