Abstract
Energy efficiency plays an important role in all water sectors. Energy is one of the largest operating costs for water system. For water utility systems, energy is needed for transports of raw water, water treatment process, water storage and distribution. Energy usage can vary based on water source, treatment type, facility age, storage capacity, topography, and system size, which encompasses volume produced and service area. Water Companies are well known with importance of reducing energy consumption and costs as a means to optimize overall system performance and to provide a safe water supply. But managing staff of the water system and operators may not be fully aware of the options available to them to manage their energy budget or to identify, prioritize and fund energy improvement projects. By applying energy efficiency, water utility sectors can build a successful energy management program and achieve energy savings. This paper discusses energy issues facing public water utility sector, steps that responsibility personnel can take to understand and reduce their energy use and costs, and funding resources for energy efficiency. Main focus in this paper is to perform possibilities for increasing energy efficiency of the Pumping Station in Milloshevë which supply with raw water Treatment Plant in Shkabaj, Kosovo.
Highlights
The primary goal of the water industry has always been environmental stewardship to meet all applicable water quality standards
The objective of this paper is to provide information and resources to assist water company management and their staff in identifying and implementing opportunities to reduce energy use
Likewise, incorporating energy efficient technologies and concepts into treatment processes is usually not a priority. This challenge is often compounded by a general lack of knowledge about energy use and energy billing
Summary
The primary goal of the water industry has always been environmental stewardship to meet all applicable water quality standards. The industry has focused on earning and maintaining public trust by protecting the health and welfare of its communities. For this reason, new, innovative and alternative technologies are approached cautiously within the industry. Likewise, incorporating energy efficient technologies and concepts into treatment processes is usually not a priority. This challenge is often compounded by a general lack of knowledge about energy use and energy billing. The focus on Energy Water guide was developed to support the industry because of the industry’s enormous potential to reduce energy use without compromising water quality standards.
