Investigation of wastewater hydroelectric power potential in Diyarbakır city

The continued increase in human population and limited water resources have forced water to be reused after use. Industrial developments and rapid increases in the human population have also accelerated water contamination. Considering the many factors like this, it is essential that we use water on earth to be extremely efficient. In nature, it is necessary to use human and other factors to ensure that the water polluted is cleaned and re-enaced. Because once the water is done and cleaned up, it will indirectly leave a lot of living and dead creatures to be kept clean. For all these reasons, the installation of wastewater treatment plants is vital. Waste water treatment plants are installed to clean and reuse wastewater. In recent years, the installation of wastewater treatment plants has been very important, especially in Turkey and in the world.In addition, the state has gained speed because of its incentive and support for the installation of such facilities in our country. Currently, in many cities of our country, such facilities exist or are in the process of installation. Especially in large cities, water inlet outlets with high flow are observed in wastewater treatment plants due to high population, industrialization and other factors. Since the flow is one of the most important factors for water to become hydroelectric energy, it would be reasonable and reasonable to use these high flow water in the production of electricity. The electricity produced from these facilities, which are usually in municipalities, will provide both the plant's energy needs and maintenance costs, and the excess energy will be sold to individual organizations and different services will be offered. Water outlet points are thought to be hydroelectric energy from these plants when appropriate shower values are obtained and a suitable hydroelectric power plant is built. In this study, the potential for hydroelectric power of wastewater treatment plants for Diyarbakır province has been analyzed by utilizing previous research and scientific data. It is estimated that a head of approximately 5 m and an average amount of wastewater flow can be obtained at 50,000 kWh/month for1-2 m3/s.
