Workshop: CHP and Bioenergy for Landfills and Wastewater Treatment
Plants
The Intermountain CHP Center hosted a workshop designed to give
landfill and wastewater treatment plant owners and operators the
information they need to effectively evaluate if renewable CHP is right
for their facility at this time, avoid common mistakes, and design a
project that will be reliable and economic. The workshop was held on
August 11, 2005 in Salt Lake City at Questar Gas.
The workshop was sponsored by the Intermountain CHP Center, the
Intermountain CHP Initiative, Chevron Energy Solutions, U.S. Department
of Energy, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency CHP Partnership, Questar,
and Smith Detroit Diesel Allison.
