Survey of the hydro potential of a Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP)

A few weeks ago, a delegation from Easy Hydro visited a large Spanish city’s Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). The purpose of the visit was to identify the locations around the site where it is possible to generate hydroelectricity utilizing it’s small water falls.

Several locations were found to be suitable for hydro energy recovery, with flow rates varying from 0.5 to 2.5 m3/s. In the coming months, Easy Hydro will assist the end customer with the design and selection of a suitable turbine type according to the site characteristics.
