Identify some commponents of a wastewater treatment plant that require energy?

Answer 1

in a wwtp, many things require energy. primary treatment, secondary treatment and tertierary. the building with the lab work needs electricity, the control room...etc. i do know tha ACUA in atlantic city nj uses wind power to power most components. if you need more specifics and help. go to the ACUA website.

Answer 2

The entire process is mechanical from the pumping systems that move the sludge to the air spargers and skimmers. Not to mention the analytical laboratory, the management offices and the sludge control equipment. Any mechanical system sucks up energy like a vacuum. The average municipal system costs between three and five dollars per thousand gallons of water treated.
