Abstract

The 21st century society is faced with a serious issue that is worsening day by day: water scarcity. The lack of fresh water resources that fail to meet the increasing demand of the population led to 844 million people living without access to safe water, 2.3 billion people living without access to improved sanitation and 1 million people killed by water, sanitation and hygiene-related disease each year. One of the possible solutions to tackle this problem, would be the construction of wastewater treatment plants. But looking more in-depth at the issues, we can definitely say that wastewater treatment is a very capital-intensive process, especially due to its high energy consumption. This paper presents two solutions to decrease the energy consumption in a wastewater treatment plant, following the case of the turbo blowers in Constanta Nord WWTP.
