- and save the City about $58,000 a year.
While most fuel
cells use natural gas, this fuel cell converts methane gas, a natural
by-product of the sewage treatment process,
into clean, renewable
electricity that will help provide uninterrupted power to one of the treatment
plant's buildings. The unit
operates like a battery, but never
needs recharging.
The City of
at the Columbia Boulevard
Wastewater Treatment Plant next to the fuel cell. Like the fuel cell, the
microturbines turn the waste
methane generated during sewage
treatment into green power and heat that can be used on site.

The
HotModule a molten carbonate fuel cell (MCFC) has
proven itself as a technology with the potential to play an
important role in
tomorrows heat and power supply. The positive evidence are
several 250 KW demonstration plants
in
MTU's vision becomes reality with highly efficient and CO2-neutral
production of electricity and process heat. Based on an
intial fifteen test units, ten
are still running, and customers remain very satisfied about the high
reliability (electrical efficiency 47%,
total efficiency over 90%). The MCFC digests all types of
carbonate-containing gases, such as biogas, sewer gas, landfill
gas
and cold mine gas, enabling MTU to establish a CO2-neutral
decentralized energy supply.
