In this paper the authors examine opportunities for energy savings at water treatmentfacilities in North America and how energy savings can be achieved. The authors discussspecific approaches, such as using variable speed drives and high efficiency motors asprimary sources to realize increased payback of original equipment cost. In addition, thispaper explores life cycle costing as a method to justify investment in equipmentupgrades, moving beyond just simple payback periods. The authors use existingtreatment facilities for reference throughout the paper. Includes 4 references, tables, figures.
