WASTE WATER ELECTRICAL POWER GENERATING SYSTEM

摘要

An electrical power generating system is connected to a sewer for conveying waste water to a sanitary treatment station. Waste water is propelled through the sewer line by pumping equipment which simultaneously pulverizes most large objects carried by the waste water. The waste water drives one or more water-operated turbines. The turbines are operatively connected to electrical power generators for producing electrical power and dispersing the power through an electrical power transmission system.

主权项

1. A method comprising:
driving, via a turbine, at least one electrical power generator in response to a flow of a watery liquid that contains matter other than water in a flow-controlled installation having a pipeline that is sloped to generate the flow by gravity; controlling an amount of the flow to the turbine to operate the turbine at a controlled speed in response to the flow; generating electrical power, via an electric power generator, in response to the controlled speed of the turbine; and capturing particles present in the flow upstream from the turbine in the flow-controlled installation.
