One of our WasteRenew™ Facilities can process biosolids from a municipality with a population of approximately 300,000. Our WasteRenew™ Facilities can also process municipal green wastes including yard trimmings and food production wastes. We provide daily waste disposal services to our Host municipalities reducing their costs, risk exposure and carbon footprint.

The example illustrated on this page shows the input of biosolids from a municipality into one of our WasteRenew™ Facilities. As the example shows, we place our WasteRenew™ Facility on approximately two acres at our municipal Host site immediately adjacent to the biosolids supply. Biosolids from the lagoon will be pumped to EarthRenew's pre-conditioning and dewatering area where, if necessary, it will be processed using industrial centrifuges. A polymer flocculant will be added to the input stream to help the biosolids coagulate together in the centrifuge, separating the centrate (removed centrifuged water) from the biosolids.
What remains is a sludge cake which will be moved by conveyor into the biosolids processing component and cooked under high heat utilizing our energy-efficient technologies. This cooking process vaporizes the moisture content below 6% while eliminating pathogens and deactivating chemicals. The resulting Organic Matter Fertilizer™ products are stored in product storage bins for later distribution to our customers or sold to the municipalities for their parks and recreational grounds.
WasteRenew™ provides our Host municipalities with:
- Waste disposal at a lower cost compared to current disposal costs for landspreading or landfilling which may include capital equipment, energy, transportation, labour, landfill fees and regulatory compliance costs;
- Reduced environmental footprint and risks to groundwater;
- Reduced GHGe
- Destroys pathogens and most chemical compounds such as antibiotics found in biosolids;
- Reduced liability and risk exposure for waste handling, disposal and spills; and
- Reduced costs for infrastructure wastewater projects, reduced lagoon usage and reduced landfill use.
