Available reports
Energy Management for Water and Wastewater Utilities (Reardon, 1994)
The research was sponsored by AwwaRF and the Electric Power Research Institute Community
Environmental Center (EPRI-CEC) and published by EPRI. It provides a detailed look at
electricity consumption for several generic processes used in water and wastewater plants. It
describes energy usage patterns for water and wastewater and identifies opportunities for a
variety of energy management options. Included are energy management approaches and case
study applications.
Ozone System Energy Optimization Handbook (DeMers, Rakness, and Blank, 1996)
The research was sponsored by AwwaRF and the Electric Power Research Institute Community
Environmental Center (EPRI-CEC) and published by AwwaRF. It is the first publication of a
three-phase collaborative research effort between the two organizations called the “Ozone
Energy Optimization Project.” It reports on development of a standardized protocol for
evaluating ozone system optimization. The protocol was established through conducting three
ozone facility evaluations of about one-week duration and follow-up efforts.
Ozone Facility Optimization Research Results and Case Studies (Rakness and DeMers, 1998)
The research was sponsored by AwwaRF and EPRI-CEC and published by AwwaRF. It is the
second publication of a three-phase collaborative research effort between the two organizations
called the “Ozone Energy Optimization Project.” It reports on the evaluation of ten operating
ozone facilities to expand the database of information about ozone facilities. It looks at case
study examples and strategies for achieving optimization.
Advancing Ozone Optimization During Pre-Design, Design and Operation (Rakness and
Hunter, 2000)
The research was sponsored by AwwaRF and EPRI-CEC and published by EPRI. It is the third
publication of a three-phase collaborative research effort between the two organizations called
the “Ozone Energy Optimization Project.” It condenses ideas for ozone optimization during predesign,
design, and operation based on findings during Phases 1 and 2 and selected special
studies during Phase 3. The study found potential for lowering capital cost through optimization
during pre-design using redundancy and standby equipment. In addition, ozone demand and
decay should influence generator and contact sizing decisions. Also, plant administration must
make optimization a priority and staff must implement optimization strategies and monitor
progress as well as keep meters in proper calibration and equipment in working order.
