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.
Their do exist very few medium scale solar photocatalytic wastewater treatment plants which are environment friendly compared to the existing conventional systems. Treatment of wastewater using solar energy reduces the use of conventional power there by reduces emission of GHG.
Applications in various industrial sectors for solar water treatment. One research focus area of the Task was the combination of solar thermal collectors with technologies for wastewater treatment. This work aimed to create an innovative and, above all, economically attractive solution for industry.
Intro: The more we can reduce energy use at wastewater treatment plants, which are big users, the more of an environmental impact there is. But also from a financial perspective, for the municipalities that own and operate these plants, this could be a big money saver.
