“The savings we’ve made were

relatively simple to implement”

Improving your
operational efficiency
To better understand and manage the
costs of investments, many
organizations analyze the total cost of
ownership over the equipment’s entire
life cycle. This creates a
comprehensive overview of direct and
indirect costs, and presents a true
comparison between different offerings
in the market.

Focusing on the areas of

greatest saving potential
In general, wastewater treatment plants
and their respective aeration equipment
have a minimum life span of 20 years.
Less than 10% of the life-cycle costs or
total cost of ownership during this
period consists of capital cost, while
upwards of 90% are costs relating to
operating expenses. For a typical
wastewater treatment plant, the vast
majority of the operating expenses are
energy cost, the minority being
maintenance costs. So a decrease in
total life-cycle costs should be centered
on reducing the operating expenses.
Considering that the aeration process can
typically consume 50% of its total
energy consumption, aeration efficiency
improvements are the most impactful
step to reduce your electricity bill.
Focusing on the areas with the greatest
potential for improvement will yield the
greatest savings.
 About 50 to 85 percent
of the total energy
consumed in a
biological wastewater
treatment plant is in
aeration. The activated
sludge process, the
most common process,
is performed in large
aeration basins to
provide air for
microorganisms,
through biodegradation,
to remove nutrients and
pollutants.
