Fond du Lac, WI – Biogas Application Profile - Case Study

About the Project

The Fond du Lac Regional Wastewater Facility modified it’s biogas handling system in 2012 to include a process to biologically removal hydrogen sulfide; physical adsorption of siloxane compounds; moisture removal, a new biogas-fueled engine and a liquid storage system for receiving hauled in high-strength waste.

The methane produced by the anaerobic digesters is cleaned so it can be efficiently burned in the new engine generator and produce electricity.  The electricity produced by the generator is utilized by the entire treatment facility and saves $150,000 to $200,000 annually.
