EXPECTED impacts
Renewable energy
Generation of 215 MWh/year of renewable electricity, harvested from the energy currently dissipated by a Pressure Reduction Valve (PRV) located at the entrance of the DWTP.
MWh yearly
Reduce emissions
100% Reduction of the GHG emissions from the DWTP as the energy generated will cover the global demand on the installation. This will suppose 140 t CO2 equiv. per year of operation.
%
Emission reduction
Reduce water leakages
0.5% reduction of the water leakages in the DWTP as a consequence of the improvement of the pressure control.
Pressure control
First European inventory
Quantification of the energy recovery potential along urban water cycle in European cities.
Inventory
