Scope Of Work
This innovative design build project replaces multi-hearth units utilized for biosolids incineration since the 1960’s with a new thermal hydrolysis process (THP). This new facility will be better for the environment by eliminating the use of incinerators to process waste as well as providing a reusable resource. Existing incinerators burned waste solids resulting in harmful air pollutants as well as ash that was in landfills. The new facility will use a process called thermal hydrolysis to turn sludge into biosolids. This will be the only facility in the Midwest using this innovative process.
