Potential Value

What is the value of wastewater?

Average Person Uses 60 Gallons of
Water per Day
40% of this is hot water

Average Residential Wastewater Temperature

is 20C
- Rich source of Thermal Energy

SHARC Energy Systems Can

Recover This For You!
Benefits of using SHARC Wastewater Energy Transfer Systems:

• Support Net-Zero initiatives & Passive House goals

• Reduce GHG emissions and Carbon Footprint

• Reduce energy costs

– Highly efficient
– CO2 Tax savings

• Reduce energy losses from buildings*

• Incentives

• Comply with Legislation

*Reduce Energy Losses From Buildings

• Building Envelopes are becoming more efficient

• Less space heating/cooling requirements

• DHW is increasingly a larger percentage of energy consumption

• SHARC Energy can recover and reuse up to 100% of this energy

THE SHARC / SHARC SYSTEM
Typical SHARC Installation:

A - Wastewater holding tank

B - Macerator
C - SHARC filter unit
D - Reversing valve tree
E - Heat exchanger
F - Heat pump
Unmatched Cleaning Characteristics

• SHARC’s patented design allows for unmatched

cleaning characteristics.

• Superior continual cleaning of the filter screen

ensures high flow rates to meet demand.

• Minimal wear on internal parts for longer lasting

components.

• Low pressure drop across the SHARC filter.

* Internal filter screen after 4 months

of 24 hour-a-day black water filtration
 THE PIRANHA
• Models: T5/T10/T15
• Fixed Output
• 60,000 Btu/h
• 120,000 Btu/h
• 180,000 Btu/h
• COP 3-6 (300-600% efficient)
• DHW and/or Space Heating

multiple units
• Up to 80% of DHW energy
recovered from wastewater
The Piranha is a self-contained heat pump that uses a
specifically designed direct expansion heat exchanger to • Annual maintenance*
extract thermal energy from a building’s wastewater for
domestic hot water heating
Features:
