Explanation
BACKGROUND: This project will install a cogeneration system at Jackson Pike Wastewater Treatment Plant. The system will use methane-rich biogas from the digesters to create about half the electricity the plant uses and will also create steam and hot water for use throughout the plant. The system will have an acceptable payback period and make significant reductions in greenhouse gas emissions. The system is large and complex. A building will be modified to house the new CHP engine/generators installed there. The plant-wide biogas piping system will be replaced; the steam and hot water systems will be modified; the plant electrical power system will be modified; and boilers at the end of their useful life will be removed. As part of this project the plant CMT facilities will also be improved. This project will deliver a complete and fully operating system.
