Reshaping the currently energy-intensive municipal wastewater treatment (MWT) practices is urgently needed. This study systematically assessed the energy recovery and saving potential of different technologies, providing valuable guidance for future optimizations of MWT practices.
As depicted in Fig. 2, chemical energy (0.014–0.47 kWh m −3) represents the predominant avenue for energy recovery from municipal wastewater treatment in terms of practical energy density, surpassing renewable energy and salinity gradient energy by a wide margin.
Sci. Technol. 2023, XXXX, XXX, XXX-XXX On-site batteries, low-pressure biogas storage, and wastewater storage could position wastewater resource recovery facilities as a widespread source of industrial energy demand flexibility.
The Foundation for Applied Water Research, an organization affiliated with the Dutch Water Authorities, suggests that the wastewater treatment plant functions as a trinity of nutrient recovery, energy generation and reclaimed water within the framework of a sustainable concept 2.
The renewable energy revolution in wastewater treatment is just getting started. Researchers and industry leaders are constantly exploring new and innovative ways to integrate
