The Department of Energy is proposing to provide funding to the state of Indiana to incorporate energy efficiency measures at wastewater treatment plants. The proposed project would involve the purchase and installation of a combined heat and power (CHP) generator at the Marion Utilities Wastewater Treatment Plant. The activities would include the clearing of landscape and placement of a 10 foot x 27 foot concrete pad. The CHP generator would be located on the concrete pad next to the Pump house. Electrical lines would be added below ground to connect the generator to the Pump Building and the Electrical Building, as well as new electrical lines between the CHP unit and the equipment to be powered. Additional water pipes associated with the heat reclamation and distribution within the Pump Building, would be extended to connect to the proposed CHP unit, as well as necessary gas lines. Modifications to the electrical wiring would be required in the Electrical Building. Recipient would obtain all required permits.
