Schmack
BioEnergy - Akron, Ohio |
The Akron, Ohio system is
designed to handle 5,000 dry tons/year of biosolids (municipal
sewage sludge), while producing 335 kW electricity using a GE
Jenbacher engine. This system can be expanded to digest
100% of Akron’s biosolids. This will result in a
production of approximately 1 MW electricity; while greatly
reducing the space needed to treat biosolids. Odor reduction will
continue as expansion of the Schmack ADS technology replaces
the current aerobic digestion system. In addition, the Akron
facility was setup as a merchant facility with the ability to
accept other waste streams. Residuals from the digester will be
beneficially reused as soil amendments.
