Wastewater Heat Recovery: A Sustainable Energy Source
Update: 2025-12-20
Description
Discover how wastewater, once considered a waste product, is now being harnessed as a sustainable energy source. In Denver, Colorado, a large event centers sewer pipes were repurposed to heat and cool classrooms, an equestrian center, and a veterinary hospital. This innovative technology, already in use in several locations, uses heat exchangers to transfer thermal energy from wastewater to a clean water loop, which then powers a heat pump. This method is highly energy-efficient and could significantly reduce our reliance on polluting energy sources. Wastewater heat recovery systems are ideal for buildings with centralized hot water, offering a low-cost, readily available resource.
