This food waste recycling and renewable energy company sought to convert an abandoned biosolids processing facility into a waste-to-energy hub to meet East Coast compliance requirements for separating organics from landfills. We developed an engineering, procurement, and construction (EPC) contract budget for turnkey delivery of the entire facility. After advancing the design, we utilized a fast-track construction schedule that allowed site work to start with the placement of three 59-foot diameter, 1.2-million-gallon (MG) anaerobic digestion tanks, a feed and buffer tank, and associated equipment.
Our in-house fabrication and custom manufacturing facility prefabricated the recirculation pump and hot water pump skids. We verified them in our facility and shipped to the project site. The cogeneration system includes three 16-cylinder engines. Other equipment was procured from overseas, requiring working across time zones with anaerobic digestion equipment specialists from Germany and Denmark.
The facility treats 940 SCFM of biogas, which is used in a combined heat and power (CHP) system to generate 3.4 MW of electricity and additional thermal energy for use in the facility.
