Investment in a 60kW Energy Storage Container for Wastewater Treatment Plants

Are wastewater treatment plants energy-intensive?

Wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) are traditionally known as energy-intensive facilities, where substantial energy consumption not only results in higher operational costs but also contributes to significant indirect carbon emissions. These emissions, primarily stemming from energy use, contradict the global agenda of achieving carbon neutrality.

How much energy does a containerized wastewater treatment plant use?

No planning or buildings are required to operate a containerized wastewater treatment plant - the plant simply needs to be placed on a solid base. This saves costs in advance, and the system is also highly efficient during operation: a 20-foot container only needs 13 kWh/d. Container.One, Container.One+, Container.Pro and Container.Xtra.

Are wastewater treatment plants energy self-sufficient?

A systematic review of energy use and recovery in the wastewater treatment sector provides insights into current practices and sets the stage for constructing energy self-sufficient WWTPs . Additionally, WWTPs can reduce their reliance on external energy sources while contributing to local sustainable energy strategies.

What is the PV potential of a wastewater treatment plant (WWTP)?

The PV potential of a WWTP is correlated with its planned wastewater treatment capacity. The number of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in China is fast growing as the country's urbanization accelerates. WWTPs, part of the high-energy-consumption industry, must use a lot of energy in wastewater treatment.
