Energy Savings at WWTPs in Line with the Applicable Legislation

Year: 2025

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: Wastewater treatment technology is constantly evolving not only to respond to changes in the composition and quantity of incoming water, but also to ensure that the process and result of wastewater treatment comply with applicable legislation. This article will focus on the integration of energy regulations into the wastewater treatment process. One of the key documents is Lex OZE III, which is an energy law, but has a direct impact on WWTPs, especially in the field of renewable resources and energy self-sufficiency. The entire energy sector is undergoing dynamic changes, and the increase in energy prices is increasing pressure regarding the optimization of its costs and use of new energy trends in the field of wastewater treatment, ensuring effective local production using the potential of the WWTP to cover its own energy consumption.
