Abstract
The high heat value of the plant's treated
wastewater gave the economic edge to electric
space conditioning, the major driver critical to
the sale of the all-electric combination of space
conditioning, lighting and modernization. With
this head start in a heat source furnished by the
"bath water" of the thousands of homes in the community,
we were able to recommend a system of heat
recovery refrigeration cycles that would provide
space conditioning at a fraction of the cost of
natural gas. The all-electric recommendation was
accepted because it offered substantially lower
operating costs and its concept matched the state-of-
the-art theme of the project and was developed
with the full cooperation of the consultant. The
final design, a state-of-the-art sludge dewatering
system, resulted in a project with a space heating
system having an operating cost one-third that of
natural gas, four times more efficient than commonly
used systems, and a lighting system equal to
or exceeding IES standards. In all respects, the
"Filter Press Building" exemplifies the ultimate
all-electric application.
