Can solar PV be used in wastewater treatment plants?

J Environ Manage2019 Oct 15;248:109337. doi: 10.1016/j.jenvman.2019.109337. Epub 2019 Aug 3. This is the first study to assess the current status of solar photovoltaic (PV) adoption across a range of wastewater treatment plant sizes, and to identify the opportunities for solar PV in the wastewater sector.

Can a small PV wastewater treatment plant reduce energy consumption?

However, the energy consumption increases if the influences mentioned above are improved. The process is generally treated using packed towers . To obtain a high removal rate, it is necessary to enlarge the size of the equipment or increase the number of equipment . So, it is not applicable to small PV wastewater treatment plants.

Can solar heat and photons be used for wastewater treatment?

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.
