Solid Waste Master Plans
Our comprehensive Solid Waste Master Plans provide municipalities with strategic frameworks for organic waste diversion. We analyze regulatory requirements, collection systems, and processing technologies to create customized roadmaps. These plans integrate energy recovery potential and facility siting considerations while ensuring compliance with state mandates like SB 1383.
Biogas Conditioning
We design advanced biogas purification systems that convert raw biogas into pipeline-quality renewable natural gas. Our engineers evaluate equipment options for contaminant removal and system integration with existing infrastructure. Solutions include compression systems for vehicle fueling and electricity generation applications.
Biosolids Digestion
Our anaerobic digestion systems transform wastewater treatment plant biosolids into stabilized byproducts meeting land application requirements. We design both conventional and high-rate digestion systems while considering odor control and energy recovery potential through combined heat and power systems.
Waste-to-Energy Systems
We develop integrated systems that convert organic waste streams into usable energy forms. Our solutions include anaerobic digestion facilities producing renewable natural gas and combined heat and power systems. We optimize system configurations for maximum energy output and regulatory compliance.
Grant Writing Services
Our team secures project funding through California state agency grants including CalRecycle and CARB programs. We prepare technical documentation and compliance strategies that align with funding priorities. Our success includes millions in awarded grants for organic waste processing infrastructure.
