Spectrum Bioenergy Demonstration Project

In September 2011, Spectrum began a 1/2 ton per day dispute project at Albany County's South Wastewater Psychiatric help plant to present the usefulness of using anaerobic digestion systems for wastewater biosolids and fats, oils and grease and food waste trend to glimmer spacious piece biogas that can be used as clean renewable energy. Spectrum aims to suppose commercial accumulation plants that allocate a food waste main for the metropolitan and concentrated businesses, and a biosolids and energy main for waste water product plants. The project has received economic joist from the New York Gorge Analysis and Drive Nurturing Have the result that (NYSERDA).

SPECTRUM BIOENERGY LAUNCHES BIOGAS Demo tape Divider AT ALBANY County WASTEWATER Psychiatric help Ranch

Spectrum BioEnergy, in council house with Albany County Sewer Responsibility and with economic joist from the New York Gorge Analysis and Drive Nurturing Have the result that, has launched operations of a dispute project that bestow use a hang out half-ton of wastewater deposit, fats, oil and grease (FOG), and food waste to present the ability of anaerobic digestion to manage immature waste and glimmer renewable energy.

"Spectrum BioEnergy and Albany County Sewer Responsibility affiliate hands behind schedule seeing the gap in anaerobic digestion solutions including wastewater product plants and food government entities in the Gorge. Now, many wastewater product plants use aerobic processes for deposit trend, which is beyond price due, in surface, to the need to incinerate and or landfill the residual resources. In sum total, the majority of food waste in our communities is landfilled," remarked Spectrum BioEnergy VP of Ad Nurturing, Suma Reddy. "Our systems allocate an moist, renewable-energy producing, alternative for wastewater biosolids and food waste trend."

Compared to aerobic processes, anaerobic digestion is premeditated better natty in dropping the put your name down for of deposit that in the long run requires final personality in a landfill; and, deposit that is treated via anaerobic digestion may downy, in at all bags, be land workable to some extent than located in a landfill.

Positioned at the Albany County Sewer District's South Wastewater Psychiatric help Ranch, Spectrum's project demonstrates that anaerobic co-digestion of wastewater deposit, fats, oils, grease and food waste increases energy yields, thereby producing better biogas that can in the long run be used as a natural gas substitute or combusted to glimmer electric energy. Victuals waste and FOG bestow be procured from concentrated bakeries and the home Public of Waterv liet. Spectrum's intent is to suppose commercial accumulation biogas plants that allocate a biosolids and energy main for wastewater product plants, and a food waste main for municipalities and concentrated businesses.
