Recovering heat from the sewage treatment plant in Bolechow

Poland
Goal
This project is an example of synergy between a water operator and a heating operator, for the benefit of the environment and the local community, including customers.
By recovering heat from wastewater, through a heat pump, it increases more than 2.5 times the amount of thermal energy obtained in relation to the electricity consumed. Therefore, it gains an additional source of RES in the heating system, based on local resources.
Benefits of the project:
- Green heat – heat production from local RES resources
- Energy efficiency – use of waste heat
- Improving air quality – reducing pollutant emissions into the atmosphere by 74%
- Decarbonisation – the first significant step towards decarbonising heat supply
reduction of CO2 emissions – 2 thousand tons per year
saving coal resources – 3.4 thousand tons per year
