As personal and industrial demands for energy grow, so do the demands for new and readily available forms of energy and technology. Through the use of what are called "renewable" energy sources, industries have found both environmental and financial benefits. One specific benefactor of renewable energy sources are Publicly Owned Treatment Works (POTW). One such POTW, the Fox River Water Pollution Control Center (FRWPCC) located in Brookfield, Wisconsin, has shown renewable energy potential from the bio-gas produced in the anaerobic digestion complex. However, currently only half of this renewable resource is being utilized using gas boilers, while the unused bio-gas is waste flared. This study focuses on the utilization of the bio-gas produced at the FRWPCC using Stirling external combustion engines. This technology offers two main forms of energy to the plant. These two forms are electrical power and heat, which can be used for both the plant mechanical processes and building heat. The specific Stirling model studied is the STM Power Model 260, 55 kilowatt-hour PowerUnit. The main focus of this study is to see if implementing the Stirling units will provide enough savings to the FRWPCC to cover the initial capital costs of construction. The conclusion of this study finds that there is definitely enough evidence to show that the implementation of the Stirling external engine technology would be feasible in both bio-gas utilization and financial savings to the plant.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Walter Schroeder Library Master's Theses AC805 .S3666 2004 Available Add Copy to MyList Format: HTMLPlain textDelimited Subject:   Email to:
