DISTRICT ENERGY
OVERVIEW
SHARC Wastewater Heat Recovery Systems are a foundational piece of District Energy Systems for neighbourhoods and communities.
District Energy Systems utilize a central energy plant to efficiently produce and distribute heating, cooling, and hot water across a network of interconnected buildings.
These systems are economical, scalable, and expandable, making them an effective and sustainable solution for complexes, communities, and municipalities.
PROCESS
The central plant of a district energy system is where the SHARC Wastewater Energy Recovery and Filtration Solution is located, forming the foundation for energy recovery across the network.
The recovered energy is then distributed to connected buildings through heat exchangers or heat pumps and condensers, providing heating, cooling, and domestic hot water.
By leveraging wastewater energy, these district systems reduce reliance on cooling towers and gas boilers, helping to lower greenhouse gas emissions, decrease energy costs, and minimize potable water consumption.
