A&WMA-UMS will be hosting a FREE webinar on Energy Recovery from Waste Treatment Systems! 

Webinar: Energy Recovery from Waste Treatment Systems

Date: October 27, 2022 (12 PM CT)           

Webinar Link: Link will be emailed out to registrants at a later date

Presentation Summary:
The presentation focuses on energy recovery from waste treatment systems, specifically wastewater treatment. Energy recovery using prime movers has not reached its potential due to several decision influencers and technical challenges. Part of the conversation will highlight an efficiency model derived to estimate the power generation potential of a waste treatment site and efficiency curves for main technologies in this sector- turbines, reciprocating engines, and fuel cells. The presentation will discuss how technical decision factors were decoupled, as a practical template to better identify applicability of a prime mover.
