Orgaworld Canada Surrey, British Columbia, Biofuel to be Operational by June

---

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--The City of Surrey, British Columbia, has partnered with Hoofdkantoor Orgaworld Nederland BV and its Canadian division, Orgaworld Canada LLC (London, Ontario), for a new organic biofuel facility. Construction is nearing completion, and biogas upgrading equipment and technology provider Greenlane Biogas North America Limited (Burnaby, British Columbia), along with Odotech Incorporated (Montreal, Quebec), have signed on to aid the project.

In early 2015, the City of Surrey signed a 25-year agreement with Orgaworld to design, build, finance, operate and maintain the facility. Construction is expected to be completed by June this year.

The estimated $68 million project will take the City of Surrey's waste streams of food, yard waste and curbside-collected waste and run it through a biological treatment system, which will process 115,000 tons per year of organic waste into eight million cubic yards per year of biogas. The product will be used as transportation fuel for the city's fleet of natural-gas-powered vehicles, and will provide biogas for the city's central heating plant.

Greenlane Biogas was awarded a contract to supply a biogas upgrading system and a CO2 recovery unit for the project. Smith Bros & Wilson Limited (Vancouver, British Columbia) was selected as the prime contractor to build the facility. Odotech will supply its continuous monitoring platform, OdoWatch, to maximize the plants odor abatement performance.

The 154,171-square-foot negative pressure facility is located on a 6.6-acre site adjacent to the Surrey transfer station in Port Kells, near the 9700 block of 192 Street. The plant will convert food scraps and yard waste into pipeline-quality synthetic natural gas and produce some 40 tons of compost material annually.

The natural gas will be used as transportation fuel for the city's fleet of natural gas-powered utility trucks.
