Burlington, Ontario — Anaergia Inc. (“Anaergia” or “Company”) (TSX: ANRG) announced that the Rialto Bioenergy Facility in Rialto, California, received the Distinction Award for Wastewater Project of the Year at the 2022 Global Water Awards. One of the most prominent international award programs in the water industry. The award was presented at a ceremony held in Madrid, Spain on Tuesday night.

The Rialto Bioenergy Facility is a $ 185 million project built, owned and operated by Ana Elsia. One of North America’s largest organic treatment facilities, converting up to 1,000 tonnes of wastewater biosolids and organic waste diverted to landfills per day into up to 985,000 MMBtu of renewable natural gas and fertilizer for agriculture. Has the ability to do. By reducing the landfill of organic waste and producing carbon-negative fuel, the facility’s net carbon dioxide emissions will be reduced by approximately 220,000 tonnes annually. This is equivalent to removing 47,500 cars from the road.

“We are very proud that the Rialto Bio Energy Facility has been recognized worldwide, demonstrating its world-leading ability to provide 21 sustainable waste and waste infrastructure. I am.^st As we enter the century, we are helping utilities convert biosolids into resources and reduce carbon dioxide emissions, “said Andrew Benedek, Chairman and CEO of Ana Elsia. “Many of the world’s wastewater sludges, swill and other organic wastes rot in landfills, producing methane and escaping, significantly increasing global warming. Carbon-negative regeneration of organic wastes. Converting to possible fuels and high quality fertilizers not only reduces methane emissions from global warming, but also replaces fossil fuels with renewable fuels, improving the health of the Earth’s soil. ”

Rialto bioenergy facilities are unique in that wastewater biosolid treatment and organic waste treatment are co-located. The facility uses Anaersia’s proprietary OREX ™ technology to digest organic waste extracted from mixed urban solid waste, and is our highly anaerobic digester, up to three times more efficient than traditional digestion techniques. Is used to produce renewable natural gas (RNG). It also converts Class B biosolids into high quality Class A fertilizers by drying and will soon complete the addition of Anaergia’s PyroSys ™ pyrolysis technology to produce NutriChar ™ biochar fertilizers. PyroSys ™ is a unique thermal technology that converts Class B biosolids into Class A fertilizers that are free of PFAS and other contaminants of concern. California law requires that 75% of organic waste be diverted from landfills by 2025, as cities and utilities are working to achieve their carbon-neutral goals. This plant will serve as a replicable standard for the next few years.
