Official Announcement: HUBER ThermWin for the World's Largest Wastewater-Energy-Transfer Project at Markham District Energy (Ontario, Canada)
Markham District Energy (MDE) has announced the groundbreaking of the world’s largest wastewater-energy-transfer (WET) project at its Low Carbon Energy Centre (LCEC) in Downtown Markham. MDE will use our HUBER ThermWin system to recover and utilize energy from wastewater, thereby significantly reducing its CO2 footprint and providing energy for Markham's residents and infrastructure.
The HUBER ThermWin system in this project consists of 5 HUBER Pumping Stations Screens ROTAMAT® RoK4 700XL and 16 HUBER Heat Exchangers RoWin BG14. They will produce 18MW of low carbon thermal energy which will be used to heat and cool homes and businesses in Markham. It is expected that the system will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 30,000 tonnes per year. This will contribute to Ontario and Canada's climate goals.
Henk-Jan van Ettekoven (President, HUBER Technology Inc.): "HUBER is thrilled to be a key contributor to MDE's transformative Low Carbon Energy Centre. Our HUBER ThermWin system enables us to access the previously untapped wealth of energy in our existing wastewater infrastructure and use this as a regenerative energy source. By integrating our ThermWin solution into this project, HUBER and MDE are taking a significant step towards a cleaner, greener future. We look forward to the positive impact this initiative will have on our communities and the environment."
The Honourable Chrystia Freeland, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance, attended the announcement and said: "We are empowering homegrown innovators, like Markham District Energy, to turn their ideas into economic success stories. By investing in cutting-edge technology, we are making energy more affordable – saving residents and businesses money on their energy bills – while also reducing emissions and creating good-paying jobs."
Thanks to our exclusive North American distributor Noventa Energy Partners, our technology will be used to harvest the thermal energy in wastewater to supply low carbon heating and cooling. Noventa will also provide design support and guidance, as may be required by MDE, to optimize the WET system design and operation.
Later this year, the first phase of the wastewater-energy-transfer system at Toronto Western Hospital will be commissioned. This project is intended to eventually supply 19MW of thermal energy, equivalent to 90 per cent of the hospital's annual heating and cooling needs. This will reduce Toronto Western Hospital's CO2 emissions by 8,400 tonnes and generate water savings of over 95,000 m3 per year.
