Summary

Based on 1973 data, the National Commission on Water Quality reported that 93.1 trillion Btu/yr would be required to meet the pretreatment and Best Practicable Control Technology currently available (BPT) limitations and 261.0 trillion Btu/yr to meet the Best Available Control Technology Economically Achievable (BAT). The energy requirement for the BAT limitations included the use of 32 million bl/yr of fuel oil. If these values are projected to 1977 for BPT and 1983 for BAT based on a 4.7 percent linear growth rate projected by the Conference Board then the energy requirements increase to 112 and 413 trillion Btu/yr for BPT and BAT, respectively. The high energy requirements were investigated to determine if other pollution control options existed that would reduce these energy requirements. The findings of this investigation are reported.
