Abstract. The efficiency of solar photovoltaic (PV) modules has significantly grown over the past several years. As a result, these modules are getting cheaper. Not all solar PV
The wastewater-energy nexus is an emerging concern in the wastewater treatment sector. Understanding the energy efficiency of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) and the
PDF version includes complete article with source references. Suitable for printing and offline reading.
The application of photovoltaic conversion of solar energy in wastewater treatment is described, and the research progress of photovoltaic conversion in electrooxidation system, reverse osmosis process, electrocoagulation process, aeration equipment, electroflocculation technology and fenton technology is reviewed.
The PV potential of a WWTP is correlated with its planned wastewater treatment capacity. The number of wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) in China is fast growing as the country's urbanization accelerates. WWTPs, part of the high-energy-consumption industry, must use a lot of energy in wastewater treatment.
Strazzabosco et al. assessed the status of solar PV in WWTPs of various sizes in California, USA, and determined the potential of solar PV in the wastewater industry . Colacicco et al. proposed a solar PV design method for WWTPs to optimize the energy consumption of oxidation tanks in WWTPs .
Experts from 14 countries analyzed the potential for solar heat and photons for wastewater treatment in industry and municipal wastewater treatment. This article highlights the most promising outcomes. Eighty percent of the world’s energy needs are met by fossil fuels.
