The SHARC Series

Sustainable Heating & Cooling using Wastewater Energy

What is a SHARC?

The SHARC Series taps the potential of wastewater energy to reduce energy & water consumption, carbon emissions and energy costs at large, industrial scales.

The SHARC utilizes the power of wastewater for both heating & cooling for the large capacity requirements of multi-family residential, commercial & energy districts.

The SHARC Series is a clean energy game-changer, transforming wastewater into savings!

  • SHARC taps into wastewater – an accessible, cost effective source of clean energy
  • Wastewater energy is highly impactful, especially compared to other commonly used clean energy technologies
  • Patented, high volume filtration &  efficient thermal transfer
  • No smell, quiet operation
  • Low maintenance

Why choose SHARC series?

  1. Next-Level District Energy Performance:
    Reduces capital & operating costs of large District Energy systems, enhancing their effectiveness and sustainable outcomes.

  2. Enhances Geothermal Projects:
    Wastewater dramatically reduces project footprint & borehole requirements – by up to 50%!  Wastewater energy acts as a thermal buffer for geothermal loops, optimizing their temperature and performance.

  3. Sustainability and Carbon Reduction:
    SHARC accelerates your climate action goals and can significantly lower carbon emissions, promoting a greener and more sustainable future.

  4. Boosts Economic Advancement:
    Wastewater energy contributes to a sustainable ecosystem that fosters public-private partnerships, clean energy job creation and energy equity for stakeholders, city governments, and land developers.
  1. Consistent & Reliable: SHARC delivers a year-round source of consistent clean energy, in any climate or weather condition.

  2. Space Efficient: The SHARC Series has a smaller footprint & high output compared to other clean energy options, preserving valuable real estate like rooftops available for green spaces and photovoltaic installations.

  3. Low Maintenance: SHARC systems require minimal upkeep, staying cleaner longer than compared to competitors, reducing the need for manual intervention & fresh water cleaning.

  4. Versatile, Modular Design: The SHARC Series is designed to be placed inside foundations and can be paired with various water-source condensers and heat pumps, offering flexibility in its applications and ease of service. Give your design team new options!

  5. Scalable: Multiple SHARC units can be installed in parallel to accommodate larger flow rates, making it suitable for district energy and geothermal loops.

  6. Quiet & Odorless: You’ll forget the SHARC is even there as it runs quietly and emits no smell due to its fully sealed design. Eliminates the need for vibration mitigation or additional venting.
