Clement, K P

Lawrence is an old mill town. The possibility of using existing industrial boilers to supply energy for a district heating and cooling system was examined. The study was based on Lawrence's Economic Development Energy Plan. The city examined potential consumers and the energy production capabilities of five existing major industrial boilers. The Arlington Mills cogenerating powerhouse was the focal point of the study. This plant is being expanded to burn refuse and will include provision for a district heating steam line. The City is also targeting the Arlington neighborhood for residential district heating. Lawrence is unique in its ability to capitalize on a densely developed industrial area and an adjoining residential area. The city is proceeding with detailed financing and engineering studies for an expanded system.
