Energy Solutions for Wastewater Treatment Plants
Bloom Energy’s onsite microgrid solution has a strategic role to play in transforming the power source landscape for wastewater treatment facilities.
Tapping into Waste Power
Biogas generated from wastewater treatment facilities is an abundant renewable energy source. Sewage byproduct, when treated, can be used as a feedstock for renewable energy production. Our Energy Servers have the unique ability to treat and run on the low purity biogas produced from this byproduct – gases that are typically flared or vented. Recovering this resource to generate electricity can reduce the cost of energy consumption thus providing a predictable source of revenue while generating substantial emissions reductions and eliminating local air pollution issues unresolved by traditional alternative methods.
Convert Waste to Electricity at the Highest Efficiency without Combustion
Resilient and highly efficient distributed generation technologies like fuel cells enable new opportunities to accelerate sustainability efforts and advance decarbonization of the water treatment cycle through innovative resource utilization techniques.
Our proprietary solid oxide fuel cell technology converts waste-generated biogas into electricity through an electrochemical process at the highest efficiency, without combustion. This dramatically reduces methane emissions and avoids emitting harmful criteria air pollutants that cause severe respiratory diseases and poor air quality worldwide.
A Versatile Platform to Meet your Complex Energy Needs
For the key priorities of wastewater treatment, Bloom Energy’s solution is unmatched. Our technology offers plants the ability to:
- Convert recovered wastewater methane into renewable onsite power
