Project Status
Project Update
Project kicked-off Nov 2024. The project team has met with all the subs and vendors and working towards creating an overall project schedule for rest of the year. For Q1, project team has completed about 10-15% of all the design work and should have systems coming online towards the end of the year.
The Issue
Today the world is struggling to achieve the globally established sustainable development goals (SDGs). Effective wastewater management and water reclamation can play an important role in achieving the SDGs. In this context, wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) must also be considered as alternative sources of water and energy. Water reclamation will reduce the stress on the existing freshwater supply, eliminate the need to transport water and minimize energy requirements related to water extraction. Development of innovative water reclamation technologies with reduced energy consumption and GHG emissions will be an important step in achieving SDGs and decarbonization goals.
Project Innovation
The purpose of this project is to fund the design, fabrication, installation, and evaluation of innovative advanced water reclamation technologies (AWRT) with the goal of demonstrating energy efficient systems when compared to conventional reclamation technologies while reducing greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs) as well as the capital and operational costs to a significant degree. Reduced energy usage, capital and operational costs, and treatment footprint, as well as improved treatment performance and capacity, are the main advantages of AWRT.
Project Goals
Project Benefits
This Agreement will result in the ratepayer benefits for GHG reductions, greater electrical cost savings, electrical reliability, and operational & capital cost savings from using advanced and innovative water reclamation technologies instead of less efficient conventional water reclamation treatment technologies. Assuming a market penetration of 20% of advanced water reclamation (AWR) systems in CA, based on total water reclamation of 252 MGD, it is anticipated that about 7,160 metric tons CO2e of GHG emission can be avoided and 20 GWh of energy to be saved every year.
