EPA Grants Waiver to Albany County Sewer District for Foreign-Made ORC Turbine Generator

Summary

The EPA Region 2 Administrator has granted a waiver to the Albany County Sewer District in New York to purchase a foreign-made Organic Rankine Cycle turbine generator from Turboden in Italy, Ormat Technologies in Israel, or Adoratec in Germany, to power a wastewater treatment plant and generate electricity on-site, as no US manufacturer can meet the project's technical specifications.
