Summary
SHARC International Systems Inc., a world leader in Wastewater Energy Transfer (“WET”), is proud to announce that SHARC Energy has completed the supply and commissioning of five of its patented, best-in-class SHARC 880 systems at the False Creek Neighbourhood Energy Utility (“False Creek NEU”) Expansion.
The expansion has tripled the capacity of the False Creek NEU from 3.2 megawatts (“MW”) to 9.8MW making it the largest operating WET project in North America. Additionally, the expansion has significantly reduced the city’s reliance on the BC Hydro power grid due to the annual average Coefficient of Performance (“COP”) for generating heat at False Creek NEU of over 300%.
The False Creek NEU, which is considered a District Energy System (“DES”) or Thermal Energy Network (“TEN”), serves over 1,900,000 square metres of new development in Southeast False Creek, Mount Pleasant, the False Creek Flats and Northeast False Creek.
"The False Creek Neighbourhood Energy Utility is a great example of Vancouver’s ingenuity – we’ve literally turned raw sewage into an energy resource for the community,” said City of Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim. “Energy that would have been wasted down the drain is now heating commercial and residential spaces in parts of our most densely populated neighbourhoods.”
