KASAG Heat Exchanger Systems: Harnessing Energy Potential in Wastewater Treatment and Surface Waters

In the industry of wastewater treatment plants and surface waters, there lies untapped energy potential that can be harnessed for various purposes. For instance, consider a sewage treatment plant processing a staggering 90 million litres of wastewater every day. By incorporating a heat exchanger system, the plant can reduce the wastewater temperature by approximately 1°C, resulting in an impressive power generation of about 4.3 MW. The potential for energy recovery from surface waters is even more significant.

The implications of water temperature changes caused by human activities, including inflows from sewage water treatment, have been detrimental to the surrounding flora and fauna. Rising water temperatures in surface waters and streams have had adverse effects on the overall ecological system. However, by extracting heat from purified water in sewage treatment plants and surface waters, and subsequently reducing water temperature, a positive impact can be made on the ecosystem as a whole.

KASAG heat exchanger systems offer a solution by not only addressing the energy requirements of sewage treatment plants but also providing a means to heat or cool nearby buildings. This ensures a more sustainable and efficient approach to both wastewater treatment and energy usage, all while promoting a healthier ecological balance.
