Zusammenfassung:Volume I of this work represents a preliminary analysis of the economics from an anaerobic sludge digester Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) at a military installation integrated with a fuel cell with hydrogen production capabilities. The waste-to-energy, hydrogen production/infrastructure development, fuel cell system (WTE-H2-FC) was submitted for FY06 Energy Conservation Investment Program (ECIP) funding based on the estimated Savings to Investment Ratio (SIR) range of 1.5 - 2, and an estimated Simple Payback Period of 8+ years. Volume II of this project will include a more detailed analysis that will validate the assumptions made in Volume I, and produce a planning and design document to be used to implement the WTE-H2-FC system. This analysis considered Army installations, but future analyses of the application of this technology may include Air Force and Navy bases. Prepared in cooperation with The PERTAN Group, Champaign, IL. The original document contains color images.
