OSTI ID:6610877

The Municipality of Metropolitan Seattle (Metro) is constructing an effluent transfer system (ETS) from its Renton treatment plant through Seattle's largest industrial area to Duwamish Head. Preliminary evaluation indicates that heat pumps could produce between 500 and 800 million Btu per hour if all of the Renton plant's current flows were utilized. The market for district heating and coolign near the ETS route was divided into five study areas for purposes of Phase 1 work as follows: Sea-Tac International Airport; Tukwila/Renton; Metro South Base and Vicinity; Pacific Highway/Spokane Street; and Spokane Street/Kingdome. In each of these areas heating and cooling demands were inventoried, and preliminary concepts for district heating and cooling service were prepared and subjected to economic assessment. Initial results are presented.
