Within twelve months, Ecoremedy® engineered, financed, permitted, and constructed the facility under an innovative BOOM (Build/Own/Operate/Manage) model.
The Morrisville Municipal Authority provided a quarter-acre parcel adjacent to the dewatering building and a biosolids supply contract for a fixed-fee per ton to Ecoremedy.
Beginning in 2020, the project will process all biosolids generated on-site. An additional 21,000 wet tons per year of capacity is available as a regional merchant facility.
The activated biochar is under development as an alternative powdered activated carbon for filtration and adsorption applications.
In 2018, the Morrisville Municipal Authority faced a problem experienced by many neighboring wastewater utilities: rising costs and shrinking outlets for disposal of 4,000 tons per year of Class B biosolids.
Ecoremedy provides thermal drying of all incoming sludge using only thermal energy recovered from the biosolids. To provide flexibility for changing regulations and markets, recovered resources include dried Class A biosolids, activated biochar, and concentrated nutrients.
