Why use Wastewater Energy?

Reduce CO2 emissions, energy costs & fresh water consumption

Wastewater: A dependable & sustainable energy source

Wastewater energy is a predictable, inexhaustible and renewable source of clean energy for both heating & cooling.
It is an enormous untapped energy resource that is scalable and accessible.
Unlike wind and solar, wastewater energy is consistently available, regardless of weather conditions.
Wastewater pairs well with geothermal and can be used as a basis for Energy as a Service

What problem does using wastewater energy solve?

Energy leaving the building is energy wasted. The world has been leaking energy unnecessarily for decades by being inefficient with resources and allowing energy leaks to go unscrutinized.

Heat energy wasted down the drain

Every day, trillions of gallons of energy-rich hot water is drained into the sewers by residential, commercial and industrial sites.

Fresh water is consumed by cooling towers while cooling

Cooling towers consume huge amounts of fresh water to actively eject unwanted heat.

Meanwhile, there is always demand for more Domestic Hot Water (DHW) or space heating.

Using wastewater offsets the thermal load on the cooling towers by redirecting unwanted heat into something more useful, like DHW.

Instant reduction in Greenhouse Gas (GHG)

Wastewater Energy Transfer (WET) is a key element for achieving net-zero carbon footprint
WET acts as a thermal buffer, optimizing other heating & cooling infrastructure
Earn significant points on your sustainable building projects (LEED, Green Globes)
Avoids unnecessary power generation
Optimizes resource consumption for future generations

Wastewater Energy Reduces Fresh Water Consumption

Reduced cooling load from using wastewater as an energy source saves huge amounts of fresh water consumed by cooling towers
Helps create smarter water usage, ideal for drought conditions
