Wastewater Treatment Plant Biogas for Spark-Ignited Engines
The modern wastewater treatment plant’s processes are uniquely wellsuited for generation of on-site power, but currently only a minority of eligible plants do so. The processes in a wastewater treatment plant can be viewed simply as cleaning wastewater to be returned safely to the environment. During treatment, waste streams such as biogas are created that can be converted into useful energy again. Biogas fueled spark-ignited engine generators present wastewater treatment plants with an opportunity for operational
cost savings as well as environmental solutions to growing energy and
carbon concerns.
