Noventa Energy Partners provides HUBER ThermWin technology and design support for Markham District Energy WET System
Markham, Ontario: Noventa Energy Partners (Noventa) is pleased to announce that it will provide HUBER ThermWin technology and design support to Markham District Energy (“MDE”) for its planned Wastewater Energy Transfer (WET) project.
Noventa is a global renewable energy company which provides a full suite of services to decarbonize the heating and cooling of buildings. Noventa develops customized Wastewater Energy Transfer™️ (WET™️) Systems, anchored by the HUBER ThermWin®️ technology, that harness the thermal energy in wastewater to provide heating and cooling without Scope 1 greenhouse gas emissions. Noventa’s solutions also reduce Scope 2 emissions by using electricity more efficiently for cooling.
As the exclusive distributor of the patented HUBER ThermWin®️ technology and a pioneer in the development of large-scale WET Systems, Noventa will supply 16 BG14 RoWin heat exchangers and 5 Rotomat RoK4 Pumping Stations. These will be used to harvest the thermal energy in wastewater to supply low carbon heating and cooling. Noventa will also provide design support and guidance, as may be required by MDE, to optimize the WET system design and operation.
The planned MDE WET System will produce 18MW of low carbon thermal energy and will be used to heat and cool homes and businesses in Markham. It is expected that the planned WET System will reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 30,000 tonnes per year, contributing to Ontario and Canada’s climate goals.
“Noventa is proud to be MDE’s technology partner in this important decarbonization project,” said Dennis Fotinos, Founder and CEO of Noventa Energy Partners. “This project is the culmination of more than two years of effort from people committed to reimagining energy to combat climate change. It is a testament to the environmental leadership of MDE and the City of Markham. We’re looking forward to helping even more partners decarbonize operations in future”, he added.
“Huber is thrilled to be a key contributor to MDE’s transformative Low Energy Carbon Centre. Our HUBER ThermWin system enables us to access the previously untapped wealth of energy in our existing wastewater infrastructure and use this as a regenerative energy source. By integrating our ThermWin solution into this project, HUBER and MDE are taking a significant step towards a cleaner, greener future. We look forward to the positive impact this initiative will have on our communities and the environment.”, said Henk-Jan van Ettekoven, President & CEO of HUBER Technology, Inc.
Later this year, Noventa will commission the first phase of its Toronto Western Hospital WET™️ System, which is intended to eventually supply 19MW of thermal energy, equivalent to 90 per cent of the hospital’s annual heating and cooling needs. This will reduce Toronto Western Hospital’s CO2 emissions by 8,400 tonnes and generate water savings of over 95,000 m3 per year.
