CHP: A Key Part of Our Energy Future
4
• Form of Distributed Generation (DG)
• An integrated system
• Located at or near a building / facility
• Provides at least a portion of the electrical load and
• Uses thermal energy for: • Space Heating / Cooling
• Process Heating / Cooling
• Dehumidification
CHP provides efficient, clean, reliable, affordable
energy – today and for the future.

CHP Today In the United States
5
• 81 GW of installed CHP at over 4,300 industrial and commercial facilities
• 8% of U.S. Electric Generating Capacity; 14% of Manufacturing
• Avoids more than 1.8 quadrillion Btus of fuel consumption annually
• Avoids 241 million metric tons of CO2 compared to separate production
What Are the Benefits of CHP? CHP is more efficient than separate generation of
electricity and heat Higher efficiency translates to lower operating cost,
(but requires capital investment) Higher efficiency offers opportunities for reduced
emissions CHP can also increase energy reliability and enhance
power quality On-site electric generation reduces grid congestion
and avoids distribution costs

CHP Benefits for WWTPs

Victor Valley, CA Wastewater Treatment Plant CHP
Critical Infrastructure and Resiliency Benefits of CHP
8
“Critical infrastructure” refers to those assets, systems, and networks that, if incapacitated, would have a substantial negative impact on national security, national economic security, or national public health and safety.”
Patriot Act of 2001 Section 1016 (e)
Applications: Hospitals and healthcare centers Water / wastewater treatment plants Police, fire, and public safety Centers of refuge (often schools or
universities) Military/National Security Food distribution facilities Telecom and data centers
CHP (if properly configured):
Offers the opportunity to improve Critical Infrastructure (CI) resiliency
Can continue to operate, providing uninterrupted supply of electricity and heating/cooling to the host facility
Other Specific CHP Drivers and Benefits for WWTPs
Energy cost savings Federal, state and local utility incentives Energy/sustainability plans and emissions reductions Green publicity/positive public relations Enhanced reliability Facility upgrades Increased biogas production Enhanced biosolid management Utility peak load shedding
9
Fun Facts: A typical WWTP processes 100 gal/day of wastewater for each person they serve Each million gallons per day (MGD) of wastewater flow can produce enough biogas in an anaerobic digester to produce 30 kW of electric capacity
Market Analysis for WWTP CHP DOE CHP Installation Searchable Database December 31,
2016 data: energy.gov/chp-installs 214 WWTPs have CHP systems (694.6 MW Capacity) 24 of the 214 sites reported system expansions 67% of WWTP CHP systems use reciprocating engines
followed by microturbines (17%), combustion turbines (7%), and fuel cells (5%)
CHP Technical Potential Report (March 2016) finds: energy.gov/chp-potential 262 MW remaining potential at over 1,300 WWTPs Based on sites that already have anaerobic digesters A majority of this potential is in sites sized at < 500 kW

Miami Dade Water & Sewer Dept. South District WWTP Miami, FL Application/Industry: Wastewater Treatment Capacity (MW): 8 MW Prime Mover: (4) Reciprocating Engines Fuel Type: Digester, landfill or natural gas Thermal Use: Digester process heat,
absorption cooling Installation Year: 1991, expanded 2014 Energy Savings: $2.16 million per year in
electricity cost savings Testimonial- “Using all biogas provides a cost savings of approximately $650,000 per year per 2 megawatt cogeneration unit operating on biogas and natural gas. Not only would we be less dependent on purchasing electricity, thus realizing a cost-savings, but utilizing the methane gas in this method is also an environmental benefit.” Miami-Dade WASD Director Lester Sola

WWTP CHP Key Lessons and Solutions
15
Technical Lessons / Solutions Biogas Conditioning – most likely required and should be budgeted CHP System Placement – coordinate with biogas and electrical O&M Staff & Training – involvement throughout project is key Biogas fluctuations – optimize storage & consider multiple fuels
Other Lessons / Solutions Utility Interconnection & Tariffs – coordinate early in process Air Permitting – approach should credit reduced source emissions Biogas Supply – increase with food waste or FOG introduction Project Financing – consider alternative sources of funding including
loan programs, renewable energy credits, utility incentives
