BMSna finds that effluent from their sewage treatment systems is_x000D_
quite warm, even in cold winter. The company wants to develop a technology to harness this thermal energy._x000D_
Though experienced in sewage treatment systems, BMSna does not have the expertise in thermodynamics and_x000D_
heat transfer that is needed to analyze the available thermal energy. With a partnership between the company_x000D_
and the applicant's research team at Memorial University, the objective of this Engage project is to conduct_x000D_
thermal fluids modeling of the sewage treatment plant and come up with a conceptual system design for the_x000D_
specific thermal energy recovery problem. BMSna can then use the research results for their feasibility study,_x000D_
prototype design and development. If successful, the thermal energy recovery and storage technology will_x000D_
greatly increase the energy and environmental advantages of existing and new sewage treatment plants. The_x000D_
plants will not only operate at higher efficiency and reliability, but can also provide useful heat for hot water or_x000D_
space heating, which would be particularly beneficial to remote communities in the north. There are also_x000D_
significant environmental benefits in terms of reduced pollution and less disturbance to biology systems at the_x000D_
treated water discharge locations. The outcomes of this research project could make significant contribution to_x000D_
