My plan is that, by capturing waste energy, that would otherwise be lost into the space of the universe, we can reduce our energy usage. AS many of you know, our chemical process involves using water to cool the mixture of chemicals that we deal with. By recycling this water through a system of pipes, holding tanks, and heat pumps, we can reduce the amount of energy and resources we use in two ways. By capturing the heat energy we use by passing this hot water(after process) through turbines, we can reduce the amount of electricity our plant uses, thus reducing our fossil fuel impact. Also by reusing the same water, and cooling it, post-turbine, using cooling coils, wrapped in absorbent material to be soaked in water, we will reduce our excess use of water to nearly zero. This cooling process can be used in conjunction with the ventilation systems Kevin will be presenting, also possibly equipped with turbines, to evaporate the soaked coils, thus reducing the temperature of the re-used water further, allowing us to capture more heat energy.
