Farad Energy Systems evaluates technologies designed to recover useful electricity from existing hydraulic energy in water, wastewater and industrial infrastructure.
Recover existing energy. Validate performance. Build practical infrastructure partnerships.
At a technically suitable site, hydraulic energy-recovery equipment may convert a portion of an existing pressure drop, gravity flow or elevation change into useful electricity.
Convert existing hydraulic energy into electricity.
Continuous treatment and discharge flows may provide opportunities to recover hydraulic energy.
Explore Wastewater Applications βPressure-reducing stations, elevated storage and gravity-fed pipelines may contain recoverable energy.
Explore Water Utility Applications βRegional networks may support shared energy-recovery projects serving industrial and data-center users.
Explore Reclaimed-Water Partnerships βLarge process-water, cooling-water and wastewater systems may be suitable where pressure or elevation drop exists.
Explore Industrial Applications βWastewater plants operate 24/7, often have continuous flows and contain infrastructure where hydraulic energy may be reduced or wasted.
Explore Wastewater OpportunitiesThe best opportunities may connect data centers with supporting water or reclaimed-water infrastructure where hydraulic energy already exists.
Explore Data Center Partnerships βDesigned to recover electricity from existing hydraulic energy in water and wastewater infrastructure.
Explore the System βExternal energy source, mechanical input and independently measured net output must be documented.
Review the Validation Plan βIndependent testing must confirm that electrical output exceeds added drag, weight and operating effects.
View the Testing Roadmap βFARAD is seeking qualified water and wastewater partners for controlled technical evaluations.
Review flow, pressure, elevation and operating conditions.
Identify where usable energy may currently be dissipated.
Evaluate expected output, pressure loss, safety and bypass requirements.
Measure generator performance and effects on the existing water system.
Document net electricity production and operational results.
