In most recent
times in the United States, the usage of wastewater has been considered an
important source of energy, and its use has been incorporated in the process of
getting renewable energy by producing electricity with the help of geothermal
power plants. The long pipelines are pumped by treated wastewater which is then
transported into geothermal geysers fields, where there are specially designed
wells and water is distributed to these wells, and then its injection is made
into reservoirs; then steam is produced by heating the water, and this steam is
tapped in the production wells, and turbines are supplied with this steam for
the generation of electricity. In the United States, the electric power generation
is made by geothermal energy, which is then directly utilized for various
purposes. The stats have shown that 3,064 MWe the electric power generation’s
installed capacity, and amount of operational electricity is 2,212 MWe only,
which happens because Geyser Geothermal Field of California has been reduced in
capacity, and approximate per year generation for electricity is 16,000 GWh
(Goyal and Conant, 2010).
There are various
high energy compounds such as carbohydrates as organic materials, which are
concentrated in the wastewater. This contained chemical energy in wastewater
has been used by Novel research with Microbial Fuel Cell (MFC) to produce
electrical power. The technology used by MFC has been found to put radical
& positive effects as it can provide energy to various industries around
the world. The technology of producing energy through wastewater is a great one
in so many ways as it can produce enough energy to satisfy the needs. In
addition to that energy produced from wastewater will be great to achieve
various environmental objectives (Du et al., 2010).
The other option
for generating energy is bioelectricity generation with the help of chamber
membrane free microbial fuel cells. Moreover, the water flows and treated
wastewater is also used to produce hydroelectric energy. The generators used in
this process are able to capture the energy from water flows, which are going
through the pipes. The generator and hydroelectric turbine are attached to each
other, and turbines rotational energy is converted into electrical energy (NSW,
2010). An estimation has been made that energy produced with the help of
wastewater can satisfy the needs of 100 million population in the United
States, which is a huge number in so many ways (Du et al., 2010).
There are various energy resources, which has been
recognized in recent times, and wastewater is one of them. In the United
States, it has been part of the geothermal powerplants as a renewable energy
resource for the production of electricity. The long pipelines are pumped by treated wastewater
which is then transported into geothermal geysers fields, where there are
specially designed wells and water is distributed to these wells, and then its
injection is made into reservoirs; then steam is produced by heating the water,
and this steam is tapped in the production wells, and turbines are supplied
with this steam for the generation of electricity (Goyal and Conant, 2010).

The water stress
has been increasing all over the world, so wastewater is being used for many
potable purposes, and this use is increasing with the passage of time so that
there is good enough supply of fresh water as well as protection of natural
sources for fresh drinking water. There are two primary types of reuse of wastewater
with regards to potable purposes in different parts of the world; one is called
direct and other is called indirect potable reuse. The drinking water is
attributed as direct potable reuse of the treated wastewater and in this
process, the quality of treated wastewater is high as it has to be included in
the distribution system directly for drinking usage. There can be various
examples of this direct use, and one comes from Namibia, where there is
Windhoek Plant, where recycled water of 25% is diluted with the water, which is
a natural resource for direct usage. This water comes with high quality and
that’s why it has never been reported that such water supply has been injurious
to human health. On the other hand, indirect reuse of wastewater may be intentional
or unintentional, but in both terms, it is reached to receiving the body of
some sort.
Community Management of Exploring Factors Influencing Delays on
Wastewater Projects in Oman
The
group of people in the board is capable to guarantee that the water treatment
plant is well oversee, for example, leveled out and well work thus produce
quality water. The water treatment plants should be screen since it is created
by a machine and programmed run. The administrator is expected to screen and
directed the machine tasks. The management will compose the dependable staff on
obligation. A calendar of support is set up to manage the exhibition of water
treatment plant. The administrator must be all day working for controlling and
working the water treatment machine.
2.5 Industrial Reuses of Exploring Factors
Influencing Delays on Wastewater Projects in Oman
It is a fact that
various kinds of consumption by a human being are constantly increasing with
the passage of time, and to makes sure that demand is satisfied with enough
supply, different industries are enlarging their size by expanding and they are
also coming with diversity in products to meet demands. The stats revealed that
out of 100%, the water consumed by different industries of the world is 10%.
The way demand is increasing, it is expected that water consumption by
industries will also quickly increase with time, and this increase will be more
in numbers in developing world because their population is growing but supply
is not good enough. There are so many industries, which need a huge quantity of
water such as oil, gasoline, chemicals, paper products, wood products, metal
products industries. All of these products use water at a certain stage of
production or manufacturing. There are different purposes of industries are
served by using the water such as transporting, incorporating, cooling,
diluting, washing, processing, as well as fabricating products, as these
processes are required during the manufacturing activities (Angelakis and
Bontoux, 2001).
The reclaimed
water usage has been observed to gradually increase in recent years across
Europe as well as the United States because industrial usage is also coming
with so much diversity. In the industrial and manufacturing process, the
largest use of treated water is cooling in the United States. The industries
are taking the use of reclaimed water into consideration as it is beneficial in
so many ways. The power facilities’ demand for reuse water is huge as it is
used in various processes. There is a number of processes for using reclaimed
water as it is used in production facilities, paper mills, pulp, metalwork,
chemical plants as well as petroleum refineries. There are many other
industries, which have to use water in their industrial processes and one
prominent industry is the gravel and laundry washing operation etc (Miller,
2006).
According to the
research, it is conducted by the Sampathkumar
& et.al (2014), a setup to distill the rich water and introduced
additional surfaces in the bowl as blades, sawdust, dark elastic, sand, rock,
and wipes. They found that with the extra surfaces the dissipation rate
expanded by 53% as contrasted and the conventional single incline sun oriented
still. Creator assessed the inward heat exchange coefficients of a profound
basin hybrid (PV/T) dynamic sun based still ), dependent on outside exploratory
perception of half breed (PV/T) sun oriented still for composite atmosphere of
New Delhi they assessed the interior warmth exchange coefficients by utilizing
warm models developed through different scientists and contrasted the outcome
and trial perceptions and made a conclusion that, author show KTM preferred to
approve the outcomes over the others demonstrate. The average annual
estimations of convective warmth exchange coefficient for the inactive and half
breed (PV/T) dynamic sun oriented still were seen as 0.78 and 2.41W/m2-K,
separately at 0.05 m water profundity. The author planned sunlight based still
which kept up a vacuum in the vanishing chamber, abusing the regular gravity
law and the barometric weight head and built up a model. They exhibited the
connection between's the expectations made by the hypothetical model with the
deliberate execution information and created a yield of 7.5L/m2 – the day of
vanishing zone utilizing direct sun-powered vitality alone. With the expansion
of (PV/T) board of 6m 2 region, the framework delivered 12L/m2 – the day of
crisp water at an effectiveness scope of 65% to 90%. The normal particular
vitality feed was ascertained as 2930 kJ/Kg of new water. Author altered
customary detached sunlight based still by including a level plate gatherer and
revealed a 36% expansion in efficiency. (Sampathkumar & et.al, 2014)
