Compliance with
stringent regulations

Municipal wastewater treatment faces several challenges: managing sludge with high moisture content, controlling odors emitted from the process, and handling the large volume of waste generated. Sludge with high moisture content makes transportation and disposal costly, while odors can impact nearby residents’ quality of life and environmental conditions. Additionally, the sheer volume of sludge strains storage capacities and imposes financial burdens on disposal efforts. Compliance with stringent environmental regulations for sludge disposal is crucial. Adhering to regulations ensures environmental responsibility and avoids penalties, emphasizing the need for effective waste management strategies in wastewater treatment.

Our impact

Addressing these challenges in the water & waste treatment industry requires innovative approaches such as our EnerPel™ and FertiPel™ solutions that balance environmental sustainability with practicality and efficiency in waste management practices.

Benefits

Pelleton Renewable’s first full scale plant at the Luggage Point Resource Recovery Center, conducted with Urban Utilities from 2019 to 2021, showcased our innovative technology for pelletizing and drying anaerobically digested wastewater solids. The project aimed to cut costs and enhance the sustainability of biosolid management by transforming them into valuable resources to be used as either fertilizer or as a fuel source.

After necessary initial adjustments through R&D, the project provided key insights into maintaining processing rates and integrating our technology with existing operations. The outcomes confirmed our ability to consistently produce safe and effective pellets, substantially reducing the carbon footprint of biosolid disposal. This project not only demonstrated Pelleton’s commitment to sustainable waste management but also indicated significant potential for future applications in the wastewater industry, offering crucial data to improve our technology for future deployments.
