Better energy management,

Networks
Plants
To achieve energy-efficiency
and cut operating costs, energy
management and optimization
works across your entire water
or wastewater treatment system.
Some equipment and processes,
like pumps and aeration tanks, are
particularly energy hungry and afford
opportunities for major savings.

Plants
Water is the world’s most widely consumed
product. Everywhere it is a strategic resource.
Everywhere it needs to be carefully stewarded and
managed to meet the challenges of:
• access to clean drinking water for all
• water pollution and treatment
• regulatory and environmental issues.
Water and wastewater utilities have to address
these challenges. And they have to do so on
a fiercely competitive, cost-constrained water
market. Labour costs are rising. So are energy
costs – and at an even faster rate. Regulatory
pressure grows steadily tighter, setting exacting
standards for water quality, energy conservation,
and reduced waste and emissions.
Then, how and where do you cut your operating
costs while rising to the challenges of water
quality, sustainable development, and ever more
stringent regulations?
One good place to look and act is your energy
consumption. It accounts for 30% of facilities’
operating costs. You can, of course, lower it by
making processes more efficient. Leakage, waste,
and carbon emissions are all signs processes
still leave room for improvement. Even when
their efficiency is maximized, operating costs
are still likely to be too high. The most effective,
most efficient, and most sustainable solution is
to manage and optimize your energy use. It is a
challenge that Schneider Electric can help you
turn into an opportunity.
Make energy management part of
your operating routine
In recent decades information and communication
technology (ICT) has been key to reducing production and
operating costs in process industries. Energy management
information systems (EMISs) leverage ICT’s intelligence to
make further savings – and help build a resource-efficient,
sustainable future for the world.
But margins are tight, competition fierce, and every
operating second counts. It is critical that EMIS systems
should not be disruptive. You need an EMIS that is not
financially disruptive. One that you account for in your
operating expenditure – no capital investment.
You need an EMIS that doesn’t disrupt your site’s
machinery or processes when you install it. One that is
designed to be scalable to your needs and means.
And simply, unobtrusively becomes an integral part of
your control system. And an EMIS has to be smart.
That’s what makes it intuitively simple to use.
No need to spend time keying in data. It supplies
the intelligence – displays of meaningful operating
data that are simple to interpret and act upon.
An EMIS should slip unnoticed into your processes and
budget – unnoticed, that is, until you notice the gains.

Turn water and wastewater
challenges into opportunities
Turn challenges into opportunities? We believe
that’s the way to go. Because the bigger the
challenges, the bigger the opportunities.
The industry’s biggest opportunity is its energy
consumption, mostly electricity – on average up
to 30% of operating costs.
Energy: huge potential
for operating cost savings
What’s more, regulations are challenging the
water industry to conserve energy, improve water
quality, and control carbon emissions.
On the deregulated energy market you can and
must use your energy better and stamp out
waste.
Stakeholders make similar demands. Increasingly,
they challenge you to show you know “economy”
and “ecology” share the same root.
It makes economic and
environmental sense to see energy
efficiency and sustainability as
ways to cut costs and optimize your
treatment processes.
Utilities are responding by making energy
management an integral part of their strategy
– whatever the number, size, and type of their
sites and regardless of whether they are existing
facilities or new ones.

Energy efficiency,
driving global research
A growing number of non-profit professional water
organizations conduct research into ways of helping
the wastewater industry meet regulatory standards and
concerns over environmental sustainability. They have
put energy efficiency at the top of their agenda.
The American Water Works Association (AWWA), with
its 56,000-strong global membership, is one such organisation.
As part of a research partnership with the California Energy
Commission, a public body, it has produced an energy
efficiency roadmap for the water and wastewater community.
It identifies five key issues:
• Rising electricity costs to meet stringent water
quality requirements
• Rising electricity costs to enhance water supplies
• Improving reliability to mitigate problems
of grid and restructuring
• Lack of a system-level energy-water link perspective
for increasing energy efficiency
• Non-technical barriers to optimize energy use
and to foster energy savings.

Dashboards put you in the picture
Dashboards are visual interfaces with data. They are extremely effective decision-making
tools because they deliver actionable intelligence in contextual displays.
Energy Optimization System supports fully customizable web-enabled
dashboards. They show KPIs related, for example, to energy consumption,
energy costs, etc., in dynamic, meaningful displays. They turn data into
intelligence for even more efficient energy optimization.
Our dashboards enable you to access, analyze, and act on the energy
metrics that you choose. You can create and edit your own dashboards:
just point and click widgets from a library. In fact, you can build a dashboard
with information from a wide variety of sources in a few minutes.
Anybody can use them – not just energy management specialists.
All it takes is an hour of training.
Customizable dashboards that match
your profile and needs
Energy efficiency manager and
financial manager: typical use case
• Monitor the amount of energy and the carbon
emissions per cubic meter of wastewater
treated against the best monthly performance
across all your installations.
• Assess the impact of any change
in the process.
• Benchmark plants performance against
energy-effiency programmes (e.g. Energy
Star) or regulations and legislations.

and sophistication of your Energy Optimization System
configuration. They fall into two categories:
A Silver Support Contract helps maximize the reliability
and benefits of your energy management information system.
It also provides a comprehensive portfolio of time- and
money-saving services.
With state-of-the-art remote diagnostic tools and direct access
to a pool of technical support engineers, Silver Support offers
your organization the single source support you need.
Silver Support is mandatory for the first year you operate
Energy Optimization System.
A Gold Support Contract adds features of your
Silver Support Contract. It is a technical support service for
organizations that require an extra level of specialized assistance.
It combines multiple collaborative services to help reduce your
total cost of ownership and ensures your system continues to
deliver outstanding long-term value.
Gold support assigns you a senior technical support engineer
who serves as your primary contact for technical assistance
and proactive support services.

[Energy Optimization System for wastewater treatment plants]
Example of configuration
for existing installations
The sole aim of Energy Optimization System? To meet your real energy
management needs and investment capacity – no more, no less.
So that it continues to meet your needs as they evolve, we have given it
a modular, scalable architecture. So that you maximize your investment,
we have designed it to optimize your installed metering resources so that
they perform to their full potential.
We install additional power meters only when absolutely necessary.
Energy Optimization System interfaces smoothly and simply, even with
third-party devices. Ready-to-go, it immediately starts acquiring and
transmitting energy information.

[Energy Optimization System for wastewater treatment plants]
Example of configuration
for new installations
We optimize the number and functionalities of the installed
devices your site needs. But thanks to the modular, scalable
design, you can expand your Energy Optimization System’s
scope and functionalities to meet your energy management
needs and investment capacity as they evolve – at a single site
or across multiple sites.
