Sewer heating system of the College
Sewage sewage is used to provide a heating system of the College campus Scottish Borders College in Galashiels. Energy Minister Fergus Ewing (Fergus Ewing) has officially launched the first system of regeneration of energy SHARC in the UK.
We've previously reported about a similar system, which was launched in Richmond, British Columbia. Enterprising energy companies use waste water, relatively constant temperature 21 degrees Celsius, as convenient source of heating and cooling for municipal buildings. The system pumps sewage from the sewers of surrounding blocks, and transmits them through the shredder, which grinds and separates the solid particles from the water, returning the solids to the sewer and then uses the cleaned fluid as a constant source of heat for heat pumps that provide heating and cooling of buildings.
The system installed at the Scotch College, works on the same principle and is designed to provide 95% of the heat needed on campus.
The city hopes that the 20-year contract will help to save on energy costs and reduce carbon emissions.
Finance Director of Scottish Water, the company that provides water and sewer throughout Scotland, Alan Scott (Alan Scott) said that "the first sewers in the UK, which works with the heat recovery system is a great example of how water resources can be effectively used, contributing to the development of low-carbon economy of Scotland".
"The transition to renewable heat sources with low carbon content offers a huge potential to increase economic growth in Scotland, providing affordable warmth through enabling more productive use of energy for heating and cooling from a range of sources." published
