Learn about the considerations for applying for CHP in wastewater treatment facilities. The webinar will include a case study presentation of CHP at the Maudlin Road WWTP, operated by ReWa, the municipal water utility in Greenville, South Carolina. Attendees will also be invited to seek technical assistance from the U.S. DOE CHP TAPs, a national program that promotes and assists in transforming the market for CHP, waste heat to power, microgrids, and district energy with CHP throughout the country.
Nationally, the energy used by water and wastewater utilities accounts for 35 percent of typical U.S. municipal entity's energy budgets (NYSERDA, 2008). Combined heat and power (CHP) is an efficient and clean approach to generating electric power and useful thermal energy from a single fuel source and is a viable technology for addressing lower energy operating costs, environmental concerns, resiliency and federal / state policies, utility support and project replicability.
