Using pump-and-treat plants for energy production and storage

Heat pump:
The Innovation Garage has a demonstration facility to evaluate the potential of exploiting the extracted groundwater in the P&T plant  for heating and cooling purposes. The P&T plant is fitted with a heat exchanger connected to a heat pump which extracts 3-5 degrees C from the groundwater which is used for room heating. Furthermore, an airconditioning unit in Room 6 uses the groundwater as a coolant. Combined heating and cooling increases the efficiency of the heat pump.
