Abstract
Results of an energy audit on a large wastewater treatment plant (wwtp) are shown; critical issues related to the use of energy resources in this plant are identified; parasitic inflows negatively affect the plant performances and a distinction between organic and hydraulic load is a useful tool in describing this problem.
