In California, CCI BioEnergy and Fairfield-Suisun Sewer District (FSSD) have signed a term sheet to advance the development of a new organics receiving and processing facility at FSSD’s wastewater treatment plant in Fairfield, California. The facility is intended to prepare additional organic waste streams for co-digestion using FSSD’s existing anaerobic digesters. By connecting organics processing […]
In Canada, Miranda Water Technologies Inc. recently announced the successful completion of an industrial wastewater treatment pilot at Kawartha Ethanol’s facility in Havelock, Ontario. The project used Miranda’s MC200 Miracell® Rotating Biological Contactor (RBC) system as part of Kawartha Ethanol’s broader waste-stream recovery initiative, achieving greater than 98% removal of targeted contaminants under the tested […]
In the UK, plans have been submitted for a £140m scheme to introduce a new Advanced Anaerobic Digestion facility at Ellesmere Port Wastewater Treatment Works. If approved, the facility will be upgraded to replace an existing anaerobic digestion unit with updated technology which will increase the amount of biogas that is generated from wastewater sludge […]
In Tennessee, Chattanooga’s Moccasin Bend Environmental Campus is launching a project that will generate electricity from wastewater methane, a move expected to significantly reduce the campus’s roughly $300,000 monthly energy costs while turning a treatment byproduct into a reliable on-site energy source. The Mainspring system will allow MBEC to produce much of its electricity on-site, […]
In the UK, Daily Mail reported that researchers from Heriot-Watt University have discovered a technique to convert wastewater from distilleries into green hydrogen. Sudhagar Pitchaimuthu, who led the study, said: “To help protect the planet, we need to reduce our use of fresh water and other natural resources.” “It takes nine kilograms of water to […]
Wastewater/water island costs are up to 2-8% of the overall CapEx of bioeconomy projects. Plus, Long design studies are necessary to optimize the total cost of both investment and operations. New strategies from Aquatech are addressing these challenges. Aquatech is a global leader in water purification technology for industrial and infrastructure markets with a focus […]
