N2 - Wastewater treatment plants considered one of the biggest energy consumers in the state of Wisconsin. A walk through energy audit has been conducted by the Industrial Assessment Center (IAC) at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee for eight WWTPs at several locations in Wisconsin, to identify the most energy consuming equipment and energy consumption breakdown. Different energy-saving and emission reduction recommendations have been suggested for the WWTPs. It also found that about 4,400,995 kWh, 1,371,455 kWh, and 926,950 kWh of energy reduction, and $337,250, $94,860, and $73,430 of cost savings for using variable frequency drives (VFDs), motors operation enhancement and lighting, respectively. The average payback period of different energy saving recommendations was around three years. Along with the energy and cost savings, it was also found that a potential amount of GHGs emissions can be reduced for different energy saving recommendations applied in WWTPs.
