English Abstract

The accelerated expansion and development in Palestine, has resulted in increasing of water consumption, and consequently in generation of large quantities of wastewater from various sources.

This wastewater has been seeping into the ground, which leads to the problems of ground water, soil, health and environment.

These problems must be reduced and need a serious solution.

Building wastewater treatment plants is the most suitable solution.

In the whole water-wastewater cycle, wastewater treatment systems considering as the most energy consuming part.

The energy demand of wastewater treatment systems depends on the site of the plant, type of the treatment process, aeration system, and its size (population served, organic or hydraulic load), age of the plant, experience of its managers, effluent quality requirement, etc.

All stages of wastewater treatment plants and sludge treatment require energy for pumping, mixing and aeration of wastewater and sludge disposal.

In Palestine there are several determinants related to the field of energy used as a result of many factors, such as the energy prices which considered as the highest in the world, and the other effective factor is the fully controlled of energy sector by Israeli occupation, where the Palestinian people are exposed to daily violence committed.

The most important challenge facing the wastewater treatment plants is the amount of energy consumed specifically operational cost (most of treatment plants have an operational cost reach to 70%from total cost) .For all this reasons, we should find the best possible ways for optimization of energy consumption in wastewater treatment plants, at the same time this ways should be environmentally friendly.

As a case study, the wastewater treatment plant in Jericho was taken
