Regional Waste to Energy Facility EPC

This Native American tribe wanted to develop a regional waste-to-energy facility as part of its sustainability initiatives, with the goal of treating high-strength waste and generating electricity to be sold back to the local utility. Our team developed a design-build partnership to engineer, procure, and construct this regional waste-to-energy facility. The facility treats high-strength liquid and solid waste trucked in from more than 10 food processing facilities, consisting of several regional dairy, beverage, food, and meat processing operations. Two 1-million-gallon, high-rate anaerobic digesters biologically treat the organics to generate 700 cubic feet per minute (CFM) of biogas. This biogas is then filtered, dehumidified, and compressed for use in two internal combustion engines. The facility generates 2MW of electricity, which is sold back to the local utility. The heat is captured and transferred back to the tribe’s casino to reduce utility costs.
