Green cube (energy from water)
Thanks to an optimized mix of energy solutions, the Green Cubes offer highlights the sustainable natural energy of wastewater treatment plants and sanitation sewer systems, and can be used to reduce the environmental footprint of wastewater treatment. Wastewater is a source of various forms of potential energy, all of which can be recovered: thermal energy (by recovering calories of heat), hydraulic power, or the energy resulting from biomass conversion of the organic matter contained in sludge. Green Cubes is a trademark of the Edelway label.
