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 negotiations and implementation choices stay yours: Delprosa provides the quantified basis, not the intermediary role. See How We Work for how engagements run.
Well beyond historic load analysis
Tariff structures and price signals tell you what electricity costs. Historic energy data tells you how the plant was actually operated. Neither shows what’s possible. The simulation applies price-responsive control to the same plant, the same process constraints and the same treatment targets, giving a like-for-like comparison based on real data rather than assumptions. This works standalone or alongside any energy efficiency programme already in place.
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.
