- Abstract:
- The Drainage Services Department (DSD) of Hong Kong SAR Government, which has installed energy saving and renewable energy facilities in its various facilities over the years, is committed to helping mitigate climate change. With the commissioning of the Harbour Area Treatment Scheme Stage 2A (HATS2A), DSD has installed a hydro-turbine generation system(HTG) at Stonecutters Island Sewage Treatment Works as the largest sewage treatment works in Hong Kong, to capitalize the energy arising from sewage flow to drive a generator which generates electricity for the plant facilities. The challenges encountered in the implementation of the project, considerations in designing and constructing the system, and the characteristics as well as the operation performance of the system are introduced. The system has not only helped save electricity costs, but also made good use of hydropower to reduce carbon emissions.
