Anaergia Services enters into contract with Rialto Bioenergy Solutions

Anaergia Inc., Burlington, Ontario, has announced its subsidiary, Anaergia Services LLC, has entered into a long-term operations and maintenance contract with Rialto Bioenergy Solutions LLC (RBS), an affiliate of Boise, Idaho-based Sevana Bioenergy LLC.

Under the terms of the contract, Anaergia Services expects to operate the facility for the next 10 years.

“The RBS is a critical asset serving the organic waste diversion needs of Los Angeles’ RecycLA franchise and the broader Southern California region,” says Steve Compton, president of Sevana Bioenergy. “We are making capital and operational improvements to ensure we provide a reliable organics processing solution.”

Designed to convert up to 1,000 tons per day of municipal wastewater biosolids and landfill-diverted organic waste, Anaergia says the facility will produce 985,000 metric million British thermal units (MMBtu) per year of renewable natural gas (RNG) and fertilizer. The facility processes organic waste from mixed municipal solid waste using Anaergia’s Orex technology and produces RNG with large-scale anaerobic digester technology.

The facility supports California’s landfill diversion regulation, SB 1383, aimed at reducing greenhouse gas methane emissions from landfills.

“We are pleased and proud to be entrusted in operating the RBS facility, that is playing a critical role in organic waste recycling in the heart of California,” Anaergia CEO Assaf Onn says.
