[SHARC Wastewater Energy Transfer (“WET”) system](http://sharc.sharcenergy.com/) will be installed in the heart of Seattle, a few minutes from the Space Needle, showcasing the [power](https://greenlivingguy.com/2014/04/toyotas-green-zero-waste-turning-trash-into-treasure/) of wastewater in the [heart](https://greenlivingguy.com/2014/04/toyotas-green-zero-waste-turning-trash-into-treasure/) of the Pacific Northwest. ### King County Moreover, the project will be taking advantage of the King County Wastewater Heat Recovery Pilot Project program being pioneered by the King County Wastewater Treatment Division. The pilot program provides for no WET fees in exchange for the operational data of the WET systems. That’s for the first three years of operation. In addition, this pilot program is the first of its kind in North America. Seattle is the latest US city to demonstrate global leadership in addressing [climate action](https://greenlivingguy.com/2021/07/growing-sustainably-6-significant-benefits-of-a-robust-climate-action-platform/) with innovative solutions to address the [carbon emission reduction](https://greenlivingguy.com/2014/04/toyotas-green-zero-waste-turning-trash-into-treasure/) required to curb climate action. ## **Lynn Mueller, CEO of SHARC Energy** ![](https://i0.wp.com/greenlivingguy.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/Lynn-thumbnail2- 1024x576-1.jpg?resize=300%2C169&quality=52&ssl=1) _“We are excited to have the first [SHARC](https://greenlivingguy.com/2022/05/plymouth-minnesotas-ev-charging-station-from-blink-charging/) WET system installed in the pacific northwest of the USA. And to support __King County achieve its goal of [recovering energy from the sewer](https://greenlivingguy.com/2011/04/waste-to-energy-doesnt-just-go-carbon-free-its-carbon-negative-get-it/)._ W_e anticipate the interest in SHARC technology will continue to grow. That’s as the global focus on reducing the use of fossil fuels accelerates through policy and incentives._ _We would also like to thank the CHC team for this win._ And for supporting us to continue to grow the awareness of SHARC WET projects and its installation footprint in our key target markets.” SHARC WET system is a low carbon and eco-friendly heating and cooling solution. Furthermore, cities and developers can utilize the system to promote a circular economy. Moreover, they can decarbonize hot water and space heating. Not to mention, reducing the use of freshwater in cooling towers. The system can even reduce the ambient temperature of wastewater to acceptable levels for treatment and discharge. This WET equipment is able to [exchange thermal energy](https://greenlivingguy.com/2014/04/toyotas-green-zero-waste-turning-trash-into-treasure/) from and into high volumes of wastewater. All with minimal footprint, higher efficiency, and superior filtration when compared to alternative WET equipment on the market. This representative purchase order demonstrates the ability of our highly reputable network to generate opportunities for WET projects. Moreover, the continued growth and expansion of SHARC technology across the United States. The SHARC WET system is installed in D.C Water Administrative Building in Washington, D.C., and the National Western Center, North America’s largest WET District Energy System in Denver, Colorado. In addition, SHARC Energy’s team along with its representatives is working on a growing list of WET projects. They’re at various stages of feasibility, design, and planning across the country. ## **Brandon R. McCann, Sales Engineer at CHC Hydro** _“Truly passionate. Those are the two best words I can use to describe everyone on the team that helped make this technology a reality here in our backyard, Seattle, WA. __SHARC’s technology is second to none and we are confident this technology __will__ be a catalyst for a greener [future here in the Emerald City](https://greenlivingguy.com/2011/10/concord-city-renewable-energy-for-a-sustainable-future/) and beyond_.” Additionally, this WET project doesn’t represent the only installation of SHARC technology in the Pacific Northwest either. SHARC Energy’s [PIRANHA](http://piranha.sharcenergy.com/) T15 WET System is being installed at [303 Battery](https://www.globenewswire.com/en/news-release/2020/12/02/2138294/0/en/SHARC-Energy-Chosen-to-Provide-Wastewater-Energy-Recovery-for-Seattle-s-Greenest-Residential-Building-Complex.html), one of the first residential towers in the world to be certified as [Zero Energy](https://living-future.org/zero-energy/) by the [International Living Future Institute](https://living-future.org/). Moreover, the PIRANHA WET system is an electrical hot water system. Therefore, it extracts the thermal energy from a building’s [wastewater](https://greenlivingguy.com/2006/11/energy-efficiency-is-high-on-homeowners-wish-lists/) and uses it to provide 100% of its hot water production at an average year-round efficiency of 400%. This means for every $1 of energy usage to operate the system, it can generate $4 worth of output. Moreover, there are over 25 installations of SHARC and PIRANHA WET systems installed or in progress. That’s in the United States, [Canada](https://greenlivingguy.com/2017/12/government-of-canada-announces-new-funding-for-energy-efficiency-and-climate-action-in-six-provinces/), United Kingdom, and Australia.
