Smart energy savings for wastewater treatment plants
Delprosa helps wastewater treatment plants lower electricity costs by modelling how their plant operates and identifying opportunities to shift energy-intensive activities to cheaper times, reduce peak demand charges, and take advantage of suitable electricity pricing arrangements without compromising treatment performance.
Three ways to reduce your electricity costs
1. Improve operations under your current tariff
Best if: you’re locked into your current contract.
– Stay on your current tariff structure.
– Change how the plant operates to reduce costs.
2. Move to a better tariff structure
Best if: your contract is coming up for renewal.
– Identify better tariff structure
– Optimise operations to suit new tariff
3. Participate in demand response markets
Best if: you have appetite for wholesale price exposure.
– Respond to market price signals
– Take advantage of electricity price volatility
Thinking about a capital investment for asset upgrade?
New assets can sometimes unlock greater savings.
Using the same validated plant simulation, we assess whether upgrades to assets such as pumps, blowers, storage, solar PV, batteries or cogeneration would improve the outcome. The model quantifies the expected benefit so you can make informed investment decisions.
Where the business case stacks up, Delprosa can support the engineering design, delivery and commissioning of the project.
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.
