44 Largest of the three (3) projects (greatest savings) Replaced two (2) 250 h.p. Hoffman blowers Installed two (2) 150 h.p. Lamson blowers Remanufactured with all new parts Outer shells were used Right sized the blowers Sufficient air flow 90% of the time (w/ smaller blower)

45 Replace Blowers - two (2) blowers were already broken - replaced with two (2) new lower Hp blowers Save Energy Consumption Save actual $

46 Project cost estimate = $154,471 Included in the Project: Two (2) 150 hp Lamson multi-stage blowers (with trade-in ) Two (2) Rotork electrically actuated inlet control valves (460V) Two (2) series 40 Elektrim motors (1.4 service factor) (later replaced with Hyundai) Two Allen-Bradley variable frequency drive units Two (2) monitoring cabinets flow measurement ( in cfm) inlet & outlet bearing temperature readings (in degrees F) inlet & outlet bearing vibration readings All associated piping/electrical work/rigging/and removal Three (3) year warranty Engineering cost estimate = $9,000

67 Metering services were performed by Consumers Energy Business Solutions. Before the work is done, an estimate needs to be made of how much energy will be saved from the project. The estimate determines amount of funding to be placed in reserve.

68 Pre Application Reservation Period Final Application Payment

69 Pre-Application 69 Information gathering Determine the strategy for quantifying savings Review information with Consumers Energy Advisor In this case, we metered for two weeks, got average kw

70 Reservation 70 How much funding to reserve? Based on anticipated energy savings. Need to calculate energy requirements of equipment. Used Tetra Tech s calculations (Air flow required and estimated Hp.) Consumers Energy reserved $37,200 for GCDCWWS

71 Final Application 71 New ability to control motor speed with VFD Demand was determined by monitoring electrical consumption at various air flow rates.

72 Post: Metering at Various Air Flow Points "PERIOD" FLOW (CFM) kw Time Recorded: ONE :50:51-7:54:48 TWO :55:30-7:57:30 THREE :58:12-7:59:57 FOUR :00:24-8:01:51 FIVE :02:24-8:03:33 SIX :04:12-8:05:42

73 Average kw Post: kw per CFM kw per CFM y = x R² = CFM

74 New Energy Requirements Air Flow and Run Time Data Submitted with Application (calculated by Brent Bode of Tetra Tech; based on nutrient loadings). Air Flow (SCFM) Run Time kw* kwh/year 1,950 15% , ,400 20% , ,650 25% , ,900 20% , ,150 10% , ,400 5% , ,400 5% , , total kwh/year * Anticipated kw Based on Curve of Metered Data on 7/25/2014: y = X where x = air flow in CFM and y = kw at that flow rate

75 Final Calculations 75 PRE ANNUAL ENERGY CONSUMPTION Average demand (metered over the course of 2 weeks) Average Annual Energy Consumed ( kw x 8760 hrs/year) POST ANNUAL ENERGY CONSUMPTION Average Annual Energy Consumed (see table shown previously) kw 1,476, kwh 913, kwh ANNUAL ENERGY SAVINGS Difference = 1,476, kwh- 913, kwh 563, kwh Incentive (@ $0.08/kWh reduced) 45,066.37

76 Blower Project Payback Initial estimate was 465,000 kwh/yr Final calculated energy savings of 563,330 kwh/yr 2.81 years (without rebate) simple payback Greater than a 10% savings in the facility s total annual electrical budget (saving approx. $45,000/year)

77 Consumers Energy Rebate Check for: Linden Resource Recovery Facility

78 Customer Participation Consumers Energy 110,000 $100 million Number of commercial & industrial customers that have participated Total incentive dollars paid to customers since 2009

79 Historically overdesigned treatment facilities Excess capacity exists Need for downsizing of equipment Next step: Future automate control of blowers at District #3 (based on D.O. levels and Nitrification)

81 Linden had four (4) 32 h.p. KSB RAS pumps Replaced two (2) old 32 h.p. KSB pumps Installed two (2) new 7.5 h.p. KSB pumps We right sized the pumps We were throttling the discharge valve too much We were wasting electricity Incentive = $10,455 Prescriptive incentive (now it is a custom incentive)

82 32 h.p. motor / pump Discharge valve operated at 8-10% open

83 7.5 h.p. motor / pump Handles 90% of required flow demand Discharge valve operated at 50% open

84 Operate one 7.5 h.p. RAS pump 90% of the time Right sizing the pumps saves approx. $10,500 / year Throttling the discharge valve less Project cost = $27,207 Rebate Incentive = $10,455 Simple payback = 2.6 years (without rebate)

85

86 Boiler Tune-Ups (Prescriptive) - Worksheet 8 6

87 One (1) Process Boiler (for Anaerobic Digester) Two (2) Heating Boilers (for Building Heat) Both Prescriptive Incentives Incentive was based on boiler size Incentive total (3 boilers) = $800 Outcome: Cleaner emissions, saves money

88 Digester boiler (process) 1 boiler every other year

89 Heating boilers (2)
