Energy-Exchange Project
The Starrett City/26th Ward Energy Project, a joint effort to develop the means to utilize waste-derived energy produced as by-products of municipal waste water treatment, is described. The project focused on developing and evaluating five energy transfer systems. These include: the transfer of digester gas produced at the 26th Ward to the boilers at Starrett City's total energy plant (TEP); the transfer of hot water heated at the TEP to the 26th Ward for space and process heating; the transfer of cool effluent waste water from the 26th Ward to the condenser cooling systems at the TEP; the transfer of sludge from the 26th Ward and equal amounts of municipal waste collected locally to a new sludge/solid wastes steam-producing facility to provide steam to the TEP; and the transfer of surplus electricity produced by the TEP to the 26th Ward. The systems were studied for technological, financial, institutional, and environmental feasibility. The study also examined the energy losses experienced in the Starrett City development, a complex of over 20,000 residents with its own schools, shopping and community centers, and power plant. It was concluded that the transfer of digester gas, hot water, and effluent between Starrett City's TEP and the 26th Ward proved the most feasible. Procedures for implementation of the project are explained and the construction program and costs are indicated. (MCW)
