Seminar 27 -- Black, Grey and Almost Clean: Energy Recovery with GSHPs PDF

This product is a zip file that contains files that consist of PowerPoint slides synchronized with the audio-recording of the speaker, PDF files of the slides, and audio only (mp3 format) as noted.

Conventional geothermal systems can post certain challenges with respect to installation costs, space constraints and availability of labor. Water-based systems only need a sink and source and that could come from unconventional sources. This session highlights projects and the potential to cost effectively reclaim energy from waste water. Speakers exchange first-hand experiences to reclaim energy from black and grey water, abandoned mines, reclaimed municipal water and retention pond with treated wastewater.
