To achieve this vision, the WRRF has focused on optimisation of the current operational strategy with minimal modifications to existing plant infrastructure. This challenged the WRRF to rethink and convert the traditional ways of working in order to operate carbon-neutral processes while being consistently below permitted limits. As part of the plan, the goal set for West Lafayette WRRF is to achieve a 50% reduction in carbon footprint by 2025. The plan had a special focus on wastewater treatment - one of the highest carbon emission contributors. In 2017, the city mayor of West Lafayette, Indiana, initiated a climate action plan to reduce the city’s carbon footprint. The proposed solution for real-time control, digester optimisation and biological phosphorus removal is set to achieve a 60% energy-neutral operation. DHI developed a dedicated plan to optimise WRRF operation and validated it by using WEST software for detailed biokinetic process modelling and simulation. West Lafayette’s water resource recovery facility (WRRF) in Indiana, USA, partnered with DHI to assess technology and reduce carbon footprint by 50% before 2025 while achieving better effluent quality.
