Chapter 3 Evaluation of Combined Heat and Power Technologies for Wastewater Treatment Facilities The steps for selecting a prime mover, as displayed in Figure 3-5, are described in more detail as follows: Step 1 – Compute the fuel energy (Btuh) of the digester gas available for CHP use based on its lower heating value (LHV); about 560 Btu/ft3 for digester gas. Step 2 – Make a preliminary assessment of prime mover size based on the energy value of the digester gas as calculated in Step 1. Step 3 – Determine the relative importance of heat recovery for POTW process needs. Step 4 – Make a preliminary prime mover selection based on the digester gas energy value and the importance for heat recovery as determined in Steps 2 and 3, respectively. Step 5 – Calculate the prime mover’s approximate electric power generation capacity (kW) by dividing the digester gas fuel energy (Btuh), as calculated in Step 1, by the prime mover’s heat rate provided in Figure 3-5. Step 6 – After making the preliminary prime mover selection, contact equipment suppliers for assistance with selecting the most appropriately sized prime mover. 3.3 References ONSITE SYCOM Energy Corporation. 1999.
