  • Advanced Heat Pump Systems Using Urban Waste Heat “Sewage Heat”
    Mitsubishi Heavy Industries Technical Review Vol. 52 No. 4 (December 2015) 80 Advanced Heat Pump Systems Using Urban Waste Heat “Sewage Heat” YOSHIE TOGANO*1 KENJI UEDA*2 YASUSHI HASEGAWA*3 JUN MIYAMOTO*1 TORU YAMAGUCHI*4 SEIJI SHIBUTANI*5 The application of heat pumps for hot water supply and heating systems is expected. Through this, the energy consumption of hot water supply and heating, which account for a substantial proportion of the total energy consumption in a building, will be reduced. The level of reduction can be dramatically increased by use of "sewage heat," which is part of waste heat in an urban area. So far, however, it has been difficult to determine whether sufficient technical or basic data available to widely use sewage heat exists. Therefore, demonstrations on the evaluation method for the potential of sewage heat in an urban area and the actual- equipment scale of verification using untreated sewage were conducted to understand the characteristics of sewage heat, and major technologies for use of sewage heat were developed. The technologies were applied to the system using sewage heat, and the system achieved a 29% reduction in the annual energy consumption and a 69% reduction in the running cost in the hot water system in lodging facilities compared to the conventional system using a boiler. The depreciation timespan of the difference in the initial cost between the conventional system and the heat pump system is about four years, and this system has an economically large advantage. In this report, the results obtained through the development and the demonstrations are systematically organized and the technical information needed for introduction of use of sewage heat is provided.

  • Mechanical Systems Water Efficiency Management Guide
    Water Efficiency Management Guide Mechanical Systems EPA 832-F-17-016c November 2017 Mechanical Systems The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) WaterSense® program encourages property managers and owners to regularly input their buildings’ water use data in ENERGY STAR® Portfolio Manager®, an online tool for tracking energy and water consumption. Tracking water use is an important first step in managing and reducing property water use. WaterSense has worked with ENERGY STAR to develop the EPA Water Score for multifamily housing. This 0-100 score, based on an entire property’s water use relative to the average national water use of similar properties, will allow owners and managers to assess their properties’ water performance and complements the ENERGY STAR score for multifamily housing energy use. This series of Water Efficiency Management Guides was developed to help multifamily housing property owners and managers improve their water management, reduce property water use, and subsequently improve their EPA Water Score. However, many of the best practices in this guide can be used by facility managers for non-residential properties. More information about the Water Score and additional Water Efficiency Management Guides are available at www.epa.gov/watersense/commercial-buildings.

For a system with a fixed structure, the water consumption and blowdown usually change with the varying parameters such as quality and temperature. With the purpose of water saving, it is very important to optimize the operation strategy of water systems. Considering the factors including evaporation, leakage, blowdown and heat transfer, the mass and energy conservation equations of water system are established. On this basis, the quality and temperature models of makeup and blowdown water are, respectively, developed. The water consumption and discharge profiles and the optimal operating strategy of the open recirculating cooling water system under different conditions are obtained. The concept of cycles of temperature is proposed to evaluate the temperature relationship of various parts of the open circulating cooling water system. A mathematical relationship is established to analyze the influence of the water temperature on the makeup water rate of the system under the condition of insufficient cooling capacity of the cooling tower.

  • Reclaiming Resources: Reducing Water Consumption Through Reuse
    Reclaiming Resources: Reducing Water Consumption through Reuse Although water reuse can be energy-intensive, its use is increasing across numerous industries By: Al Goodman Al Goodman is a principal with 42 years of experience serving clients in water reuse projects at the Louisville, Ky., office of CDM Smith (Boston). Communities and industries around the world are turning to water reuse. The drivers are varied: the need to augment strained water supplies, reduce nutrients in treated effluent, maintain ecological balance, use the most energy-efficient water sources, and reduce cost of purchased and treated water. The major driver is water scarcity in arid and semi-arid regions, though some regions of the world that are not considered to be water-scarce are implementing water reuse. Ecological drivers are becoming more important in evaluating reuse as part of a response to rigorous and costly requirements to reduce or remove nutrients (mainly nitrogen and phosphorus) from discharges to surface waters. Though water reuse can be energy-intensive, depending on the level of treatment required, only a full life-cycle analysis can reveal whether overall resource costs are greater than or less than alternative water supplies. Municipalities are implementing various types of urban water reuse and turning to industry and agriculture as potential customers of reclaimed water. Categories of water reuse applications are presented in the table. This article focuses on considerations relevant for municipal and industrial reuse. For more information on the full range of categories of reuse, refer to the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Guidelines for Water Reuse (2012; http://nepis.epa.gov/Adobe/ PDF/P100FS7K.pdf).

The innovative, small footprint, fully enclosed thermal drying plant produces T1 Treatment Grade pelletised biosolids that are suitable for reuse as farm fertilizer and soil conditioner that can be safely handled and easily transported immediately after processing. T1 classification for biosolids is the microbiological criteria and measure used to inhibit bacterial regrowth and odour. T1 is the highest classification. The plant operates 24/7 and has capacity to treat 60,000 tonne of biosolids per annum. The plant receives biosolids at >13% from seven wastewater treatment plants in the Geelong region and produces pellets at >90% dry solids.
