Diverting organic waste from landfills and converting it to useful energy
North America's largest organics processing facilities profits from CHP's
Facts & figures
The Rialto Bioenergy Facility is a resource recovery center located in Southern California that was created by Anaergia. It diverts organic waste from landfills and converts it into useful energy, in compliance with California law SB 1383.
The facility uses advanced anaerobic digestion technology, developed by Anaergia, in combination with 2G's avus CHP system to extract and generate energy from organic material. The 2G CHP system enhances the environmental and economic benefits of the facility by powering the renewable natural gas system.
The RBF project includes four 2G CHP systems, two avus1500c (1500kWe) CHP systems, and two avus800c (800kWe) CHP systems, with a total power generation capacity of 4.6MW. The avus systems are dual fuel (biogas and/or natural gas) with active blending and are designed to interconnect multiple units for higher electrical output. The master control system enables synchronization and load sharing for up to five modules.
