What is PD CEN/TR 17614 about?
PD CEN/TR 17614 defines a methodology for determining and assessing the energy efficiency of Waste Water Treatment Plants (WWTP). The methodology aims at describing, in a systematic way, the various steps required to establish the Water Treatment Energy Index (WTEI) of a particular WWTP.
PD CEN/TR 17614 includes the classification of WWTPs in different types, identification of different stages of treatment, identification of key performance indicators (KPIs), overview of existing energy monitoring standards and the detailed description of the methodology, including a step-by-step guideline of how to apply and implement it.
Who is PD CEN/TR 17614 for?
PD CEN/TR 17614 on waste water treatment plants is relevant to:
- Manufactures of waste water treatment
- Companies dealing with energy efficiency systems
- Companies dealing with wastewater recycling
Why should you use PD CEN/TR 17614?
Wastewater Treatment Plants (WWTPs) are one of the most expensive public industries in terms of energy requirements, accounting for more than 1 % of consumption of electricity in Europe. Thus, there is a need to stop the current unsustainable energy consumption of the sector in line with the objectives of Europe 2020 and the EU Sustainable Development Strategy (SDS).
PD CEN/TR 17614 guides you to water experts and auditors on how to evaluate the energy performance of a wastewater treatment plants (WWTP) reaching a final energy diagnosis and the calculating you a Water Treatment Energy Index (WTEI).
PD CEN/TR 17614 gives you rules of how energy consumption should be related with the performance of a WWTP and parameters such as effluent flow, nutrient removal, biochemical oxygen demand (BOD), chemical oxygen demand (COD), suspended solids, orthophosphate (PO4), ammonia (NH4) and nitrate (NO3) need to be estimated or determined at various stages of the WWTP for an effective estimation and assessment of energy efficiency in WWTP.
