Abstract

The water industry accounts for about 30–40% of the total energy demand of the municipalities worldwide. This may vary from one facility to another based on the source, water quality, water storage, distance from the source, elevation, facility's age, and type of treatment techniques employed. Water abstraction and distribution are the highest energy consumption units among conventional water treatment facilities. Advanced treatment technologies, especially desalination (membrane and thermal) and disinfection technologies (ozone and ultraviolet), are the most energy consuming processes over the conventional treatment technologies. Various energy optimization measures such as the use of gravity for water transfer and distribution (where possible), selection of most energy and treatment efficient technologies, upgrading the treatment system and equipment (especially pumps), renewable energy generation at the facility, water conservation and restoration or protection of the potable water sources etc. can be employed to minimize the energy demand of the water treatment facilities. Application of these measures is challenging due to lack of adequate knowledge by the operational staff, lack of public awareness, investment cost involved, changes in future water treatment regulation with a growing population, pollutant load in the potable water bodies, etc. The current chapter discusses the possible energy intensive factors of the drinking water facilities with possible energy optimization measures and their limitations.
