This online engineering PDH course describes the technical and economic potential for introducing combined heat and power (CHP) systems to wastewater treatment facilities (WWTFs).
This online engineering PDH course describes the technical and economic potential for introducing combined heat and power (CHP) systems to wastewater treatment facilities (WWTFs), especially smaller WWTFs with influent flow rates of 1 to 5 MGD.
The course also presents operational observations obtained through interviews with WWTF operators who have employed CHP.
Some of the key findings given in the course are that:
Topics: Overview of CHP and its benefits at WWTFs Market for WWTFs with CHP Technical potential for CHP at WWTFs Economic potential for CHP at WWTFs First-hand observations gathered through interviews of WWTF operators regarding the benefits and challenges of CHP
Intended Audience: This course is intended for engineers working as CHP project developers, WWTF operators and state and local government policy makers.
Publication Source: This course is based on the document, “Opportunities for Combined Heat & Power at Wastewater Treatment Plants: Market Analysis and Lessons from the Field,” produced by the Environmental Protection Agency Combined Heat and Power Partnership, October, 2011.
