With rising energy costs and the worsening climate crisis, some wastewater treatment plants have started using solar energy. Because solar adoption at wastewater treatment plants is still relatively new, there is little known about these facilities, including where they are, what drove them to choose solar, and if solar has been a success.
Their do exist very few medium scale solar photocatalytic wastewater treatment plants which are environment friendly compared to the existing conventional systems. Treatment of wastewater using solar energy reduces the use of conventional power there by reduces emission of GHG.
“I couldn’t be more proud that the world’s largest solar installation at a wastewater plant is happening right here at DEP’s Wards Island Wastewater Resource Recovery Facility,” said DEP Commissioner Rohit T. Aggarwala. “This ambitious project underscores DEP’s climate leadership by reducing emissions and advancing the City’s decarbonization goals.
Solar photocatalysis, solar desalination, solar disinfection, solar detoxification, solar pasteurisation are the common technologies employed for treating wastewater (Pichel et al., 2018). The involvement of solar radiation in excluding heavy metals and synthetic chemicals from liquid waste is a developing technology.
