Energy Efficiency

We operated and maintained some 240 sewage treatment and pumping facilities that consumed 210 million kWh of energy in 2004. We recognize that we are one of the largest energy consumption departments in the government and therefore strongly committed to conservation of energy. In 2004, our hard work and commitment brought home the Energy Efficiency & Conservation Best Practice Gold Award from the Hong Kong Awards for Energy Efficiency and Conservation in Government. We achieved this through the cooperation and communication of all staff in the department, including the firm commitment from the top management to drive the green management and the active participation and support of all staff. We will continue our effort on energy saving and share our experience with other departments and the public sector.

Experience sharing workshop on energy saving

Examples of Energy Saving include:

1. Energy Audit
Energy audits help identify Energy Management Opportunities where saving of energy and money can be made. We have an in-house energy saving working committee to provide technical support and expert advice to help individual division to achieve the energy saving target.

2. Use of Advanced Technology
One of our approaches for continuous improvement is by exploration of the latest technologies suitable for sewage pumping and treatment applications. The successful applications include a multi-point chemical dosing system, low pressure UV lamps for effluent disinfection, water cooled air-conditioners, and solar energy.
