Sanitary engineering TP Chemical technology Energy in sewage treatment plant (STP) show the differential energy consumption on various stages which it depends on the indicator of the findings. To do comparison and benchmarking, the suitable key energy consumption indicator need to identify, and the suitable method need to formulate in performing the energy. This study is to perform energy saving measures (ESM) and process improvement for the STP. The study started with planning to select the STP and study on the potential of method to use.

Retrofitting the lighting for existing 36W fluorescent to LED T8 14W and for 300W spotlight to 150W LED spotlight also help the STP to reduce the energy consumption. Retrofitting the Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) to produce biogas and the development of Combine Heat and Power (CHP) plant to generate electricity will reduce the demand of electricity from the grid.

The best option is to utilize all the available potential area of Solar PV installation along with another ESM and utilization to obtain the best result. The combination of proposed improvement being analyzed according to the selected option, economic feasibility, energy savings, CO2 reduction and simple payback period with expected reducing the energy consumption and cost at the STP. As conclusion, the implementation of all the propose ESM and utilization will lead the savings in many aspects of area to the STP. 2023 Thesis http://eprints.utm.my/102525/ http://eprints.utm.my/102525/1/MohdNorfadhliMustafaMSChE2023.pdf application/pdf en public http://dms.library.utm.my:8080/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:152225 masters Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Faculty of Engineering - School of Chemical & Energy Engineering Faculty of Engineering - School of Chemical & Energy Engineering
