Evoqua to Support Biogas Cogeneration Project

Evoqua will supply boiler feedwater makeup system for 100% renewal energy biogas Co-Gen Plant 

Evoqua Water Technologies today announced it has been chosen by energy developer DCO Energy, LDdoRq4h.jpgLC to provide equipment and services for a new biogas cogeneration project for LA Sanitation's Hyperion Water Reclamation Plant in Los Angeles, Calif. As the City's primary water reclamation plant, Hyperion is one of the largest treatment facilities in the world. It has been operating since 1925 and has a capacity of 450 million gallons per day (mgd), up to 800 mgd during wet weather.

The biogas cogeneration plant, scheduled for completion in late 2016, is being built by Constellation, a subsidiary of Exelon Corporation, and will provide 100% of the steam and electrical power for the Hyperion facility. Constellation will also operate the cogeneration plant under a 20-year contract. The plant is expected to generate more than 173 million kilowatt-hours of electricity per year and supply up to 70,000 pounds per hour of steam, using the methane captured through Hyperion’s sewage treatment process as its fuel source.

Evoqua was selected to provide a boiler feedwater makeup system and a condensate polishing system for the operation. The feedwater makeup system will use Evoqua's Vantage® PTI multimedia pretreatment system; double-pass Vantage Membrane Series M286 Reverse Osmosis systems; VFD pumps, and ion exchange polishing resin using customized Evoqua FlexMate™tanks.

Both the feedwater makeup and condensate polishing processes will take advantage of Evoqua off-site Service Deionization and condensate polishing services to reduce capital costs and on-site chemical storage.

"This project will help LA Sanitation meet a commitment to reduce its carbon footprint by operating the Hyperion Water Reclamation Plant on 100% renewable energy," said Bill Malone of Evoqua's Equipment Solutions segment. "We're proud to be part of an effort that will make generating sustainable energy a cleaner and more efficient process."
