Regeneration of potential and kinetic energy from wastewater in tall buildings

Abstract

An innovative scheme has been presented for the regeneration of the potential and kinetic energy from the wastewater installations of tall buildings. In high buildings, energy is used to pump water to the upper floors. A great portion of this energy is saved in the water as potential energy and is then wasted after the used water descends to the bottom of the building in the form of wastewater. The main goal of this study is to regenerate this energy in place of letting it go to waste. Initial designs are considered and sample calculations are provided.
