Price of 5MW Solar-Powered Containerized Wastewater Treatment Plant

How do I calculate equipment cost for a wastewater treatment plant?

Simply enter your wastewater treatment plant’s daily flow (GPD) to get an estimated equipment cost. For a ballpark constructed plant cost, multiply the equipment cost by 1.5 to 2 times. This calculation offers a straightforward way to plan your budget, but understanding project-specific factors is critical for accurate planning.

What are the solar power utilization scenarios of PV & WWTP projects?

Summary of various solar power utilization scenarios of PV + WWTP projects. Leveraging electricity for hydrogen production via photovoltaic–electrochemical water splitting is another potential utilization scenario [59, 60]. The effluent of WWTPs provides a vast volume of water and oxygen can be simultaneously produced.

How much electricity can a wastewater treatment plant generate?

A coefficient of 0.184 is obtained and it means that the space for handling 1 m3 /d of wastewater can lead to 18.4 kWh/a of electricity generation under the current deployment paradigm in China. Generally, 0.33 kWh/d is required to treat 1 m 3 volume of wastewater at WWTPs in China , thereby leading to about 120 kWh annually.

How many PV & WWTP projects are there?

Since 2019, hundreds of PV + WWTP projects have been built and are currently in operation nationwide, with the majority located in the Yangtze River Economic Belt. According to 31 case projects, the adoption of PV systems can, on average, supply about 20 % of the electricity required annually.
