BWSO- SHRDP A&B: Sewer Heat Recovery Demo Project

The New York City Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) is set to enter into a demonstration agreement with Dewberry Engineers Inc., partnered with UHRIG, and CDM SMITH NY, INC., partnered with Renewable Resource Recovery Corp. This project focuses on developing and testing innovative Sewer Heat Recovery System (SHRS) technologies to capture usable heat from the wastewater collection system. The two technologies under evaluation are Termliner and Source-Energy Pipe, with the objective to assess their effectiveness and feasibility for potential broader application in the city's infrastructure. The contract, identified as "BWSO-SHRDP A&B: Sewer Heat Recovery Demo Project," was solicited under the NAICS code 221320 and is managed by the Bureau of Water and Sewer Operations within the DEP. It is a demonstration project aimed at exploring sustainable and energy-efficient solutions for heat recovery. The project will be conducted in New York State, with Jeanne Schreiber serving as the primary point of contact for the solicitation. This initiative represents a forward-looking approach by DEP to leverage wastewater systems for energy recovery, aligning with environmental and operational efficiency goals.
