Project

Build a biomethanization facility where up to 86,600 tonnes of food waste and 96,000 tonnes of sewage sludge will be processed annually into digestate to be used as an agricultural fertilizer and biogas to be converted into energy, thereby reducing the amount disposed of in landfill.

Challenges

Harness emerging expertise in producing biogas from organic materials.

During construction, integrate and install equip- ment to treat organic matter and odours, and pro- duce gas and digestate.

Solution

Use building information modeling (BIM) in the design phase to optimize the positioning of certain equipment and avoid installation conflicts on site.
