One Energy efficiency Surely in the water sector is one of the largest current challenges of both global and national. We consider the importance of continuous management of our water resources on the World Water Day on March 22.
Increased urbanization, society automation and life standards, water and energy are growing sources that bring serious effects for the environment and economy. According to IBA Report Overcome the problems of energy efficiency in the water and water sector residueThe water and sewage sector is in charge of 3.5% of total electricity consumption, and 80% of this consumption in pumping water treatment plants is 85%.
Therefore, to implement solutions that allow more efficient and sustainable management of resources, it is important to face these difficulties, and it is important to face these problems. In 2021-2030, a strategic plan for the water supply and management sector (2030) is expected to reduce the water management and losses of 5,500 million euros.
Strategies to achieve energy efficiency in the water sector
Digitalization plays a key role in achieving energy efficiency in the water sector, especially by optimizing transactions. It is important to invest in the early detection of water loss to deal with industrial problems, as well as investing in monitoring technologies to have any anomaly in the quality of this feature.
When combining smart variables with rapid variables, we can reduce the speed and voltage of voltage and voltage of voltage and voltage of voltages, assets managing and strengthening the consumption of power up to 30%. Integration of these devices, reduces equipment business expenses and allows direct contributors to work more efficiently sustainability Operations.
One of the main intervention points to increase energy efficiency is sewage cleaning stations. By implementing speed variators and high efficiency engines, it is possible to adjust the speed of these equipment according to the real needs and thus prevent energy waste.
Another important factor to ensure energy sustainability is active management in the water sector. If we are accessible to digital solutions that allow you to monitor the work of real-time equipment, we can collect equipment information through smart sensors. Thus, it is possible to provide forecast and persuasive maintenance by eliminating the consequences of unexpected failures and equipment, as well as a useful life.
In this way, we do not only save maintenance costs, but we also contribute easing do Impact on the environmentThe equipment will not be needed and there will be no waste of resources there.
Need water shortages and more persistent solutions
Over the years, the water scarcity rate in Portugal is growing and is important to seek and put strategies to oppose the trend. It is important for the diversification of renewable energy sources, that is, to help reduce sun and wind, water and reduce quality and quality gas emissions for different use greenhouse. According to the National Energy Plan and Climate 2030 (PNEC), the goal is to reach 51% Renewable energies In total final consumption by 2030.
And if the water is increasing, it is more important to prevent waste from the source. Installation of varies in pump systems is an effective solution for waste reduction, because it ensures the lack of water loss during the process, and ensures the sustainability of sanitary operations.
Electric motors in the water sector, especially in wastewater treatment stations, are a fundamental piece of energy efficiency. These engines are designed to minimize energy consumption and reduce CO2 waste.
The use of speed variators and high-inefficient engines can lead to energy economies between 20% and 60% compared to the recording management systems that optimize water and energy consumption and operations more efficient, safe and sustainable.
Energy efficiency in the water sector is not only to reduce operating costs, but also to ensure water safety and environmental sustainability. We are going to a more sustainable future by integrating innovative solutions and developing developed technologies in industrial processes.
However, cooperation with all the relevant interventions of this road, which provides a collective obligation to protect water resources and protecting the environment. Only then can we build a stronger, efficient, efficient and truly continuous water sector.
