CleanWorld expanding successful Sacramento BioDigester

June 27, 2013 |

In California, CleanWorld officially broke ground at its Sacramento BioDigester to expand the 10,000 tons per year facility by 300 percent to 40,000 tons per year making it the largest commercial high-solids food waste digester in the United States. Upon completion in December, 2013, the Sacramento BioDigester will convert 100 tons per day of food waste into renewable energy in the forms of heat, electricity, natural gas, and fertilizer enhancements. In so doing, the BioDigester will produce 700,000 diesel gallons per year of renewable CNG, and 8 million gallons a year of organic soils and fertilizer products, while generating 1 million kilowatts of electricity to be used to power the facility and the Atlas Disposal operated CNG fueling station adjacent to the plant.
