Reducing energy use without rebuilding the plant.

RetrofitMinimal new equipment
The challenge
A major water-recycling utility wanted to reduce energy consumption with minimal implementation cost.
The approach
Rick developed a process retrofit design using low-pressure energy-recovery devices, with minimal additional new equipment.
The result
The retrofit is expected to reduce energy consumption by 10%, with a payback of less than three years.
Status: Rick Stover’s prior professional experience. Energy and payback figures are expected results of the retrofit design. The pictures are illustrations, not images of the plant.
