Smart energy savings for wastewater treatment plants
Delprosa shows you how to unlock latent storage capacity in your WWTP that shifts load to cheaper periods and reduces peak demand, without jeopardising stable operations. Configured to your plant, our process simulation model quantifies the expected savings and demonstrates how the plant will operate.
Three pathways to lower energy costs
1. Tariff Optimisation
Best if: you’re locked into your current contract.
Operational changes within your existing contract, with no change to your retailer relationship or risk position.
2. Alternate Tariffs
Best if: your contract is coming up for renewal.
Reveal hidden savings by analysing how the plant can leverage value from the tariff structures of competing offers.
3. Demand Response
Best if: you have appetite for wholesale price exposure.
Quantify the risks in wholesale market exposure to see if the plant can leverage the volatility.
Assessing a capital investment
Any of the three routes can extend into a CAPEX Business Case Assessment, testing whether new or larger assets, such as pumps, blowers, storage, solar PV, batteries or cogeneration, would strengthen the outcome. The simulation quantifies that benefit in the same model. Where a case supports moving ahead, Delprosa can help deliver the engineering design and project management through to commissioning.
You stay in control of the engagement
Retail negotiation: led by you
You hold the commercial relationship, and Delprosa stays independent, so negotiating with your retailer is something you lead. Delprosa supports those discussions where useful, without ever becoming the intermediary.
Control system integration: your choice
Implementation is approached however you prefer. Many clients mandate their trusted integrator, and Delprosa works with any integrator you choose. You can project manage the implementation yourself, or hand it to Delprosa as part of a delivery engagement.
The first step is a plant assessment
It tells you quickly whether there is a case worth building, and which of the three routes fits your circumstances. It is the same first step under every engagement.
