Elateq System Benefits Detail:
Elateq vs Advanced Aeration for Nutrients Removal at Municipal Scale – Target Contaminant Removal
Over the service life, Elateq can save $820k.
Using an example of South Hadley WWTP (2.66M GPD), Elateq technology can be used to achieve the requirements for nitrogen (nutrient) load reduction by 25% as required by permitting limits by 2023. Compared to retrofitted advanced aeration as an alternative, CAPEX using Elateq’s technology decreases by 10%, while overall OPEX decreases by 40%, including the electrical costs that decrease up to 85%. However, solely retrofitting advanced aeration will require a disinfection step (addition of sodium hypochlorite), for which WWTP in this case study would use up to US$400k over 20 years. In summary, savings by Elateq technology versus upgrades by retrofitted advanced aeration are: 10% on CAPEX, 40% in OPEX, 85% on energy use, and 50% of total savings over 20 years period, Including savings on disinfection.
