| Description: | Special Report Abstract: This report summarizes energy requirements for small wastewater treatment systems (0.05 - 5 million gallons per day) applicable to military installations. It compares various treatment combinations, and presents the energy requirement for the most viable alternatives in tabular form. It also presents energy requirements for various components of wastewater treatment systems in a format making it convenient to calculate the energy requirements for many combinations of the components. In addition, it summarizes briefly energy estimates made by others. The report compares typical combinations of unit operations and processes used to produce various quality effluents on the basis of energy consumption. It concludes that land application systems are the most energy-efficient wastewater treatment systems and that they are capable of producing an equivalent or higher quality effluent than any other treatment system. |
