Energy audit and energy conservation potential for water treatment plant

Abstract

This paper present energy audit process on water treatment plant in Lalpur, Jabalpur M.P, here more effective equipment use for water purification/water distributed to Jabalpur area. Water treatment plant has been highly energy and cost intensive. The water treatment plant requires 8760 h per year of the total operating hours to produce 35405 mld (million litter per day). To achieve effective and efficient energy management scheme, thermal energy audit analysis was employed on water treatment plant. The industrial sector is the largest users of energy around the world and its share in the overall consumption is 49%. Energy is one of the major inputs for the economic development of any country. In the case of the developing countries, the energy sector assumes a critical importance in view of the ever-increasing energy needs requiring huge investments to meet them.
