In The Netherlands
How much heat is lost in domestic water?

Water Consumption
130 L/inhab
Heated water 65 L/inhab
Average temperature of heated water
40ºC
Energy in water

Transportation 90
Treatment 90
Heating(40ºC) 700
70 – 82 % of «invested» energy in water
20 – 40 % Of Energy loses in a house
Where is an opportunity?

Heat pump ◦ Its utilization started more than 20 years◦ In Switzerland: 3% of the thermal energy demand
of buildings.
How heat is recovered?
10
Heat Recovery in showers◦ 4 – 15% Energy Savings◦ No extra energy required◦ For individual showers◦ The near to the hot source, the better
ATES-BTES◦ Heat «Storage»◦ Coupled with heat pumps◦ BTES are more expensive◦ They must be stabilized
What kind of projects are there?
District heating◦ Hotels, pools, buildings,
houses.◦ Minimum flow: 10 L/s◦ Main concern: Performance of
WWTP
Sludge drying◦ With treated water◦ It does not represent danger to
the WWTP performance◦ Not many publications
What kind of projects are there?
Using different energy sources
Water minimization Producing energy form
water
Solar desalination Smart Grids MFC’s
Which are some developing technologies?

Membrane desalination◦ A thermally driven process the steam
of the feed (hot solution) passes through membrane
◦ Need for development Long-term performance Scale-up Realistic assessments
Which are some developing technologies?
14
Smart grids◦ Measuring and control technologies◦ Applied mostly in electrical industry◦ Leaks detection◦ Provide information about consumption◦ Real-Time knowledge
Wchich are some developing technologies?
15
Microbial Fuel Cells◦ Yield: 23 W/m3◦ Can be used for WWT (nitrification)◦ Cathode is the «bottle neck» of MFCs
◦ No commercially available $ Materials of electrodes Pilot projects (fouling, changes in
substrate and temperature) Lack of knowledge about
bacterial metabolism
Wchich are some developing technologies?
