Landis Sewerage Authority Receives EPA 2010 ENERGY STAR CHP Award for Renewable Energy Utilization and Carbon Emissions Reduction Aided by the Use of Prodex's BAE

BAE is derived from a peat extraction process and has been proven to increase methane gas production for increased renewable, clean energy. This low-cost organic liquid booster, offered by Prodex a JSH international company, provides operators an alternative to costly system upgrades, reduces operating costs, and complements environmental initiatives.

Many wastewater treatment plants capture the methane produced during the anaerobic digestion process and turn it into biogas using CHP. The biogas provides heat and electricity for on-site use or can be sold back to the grid. Plants that do not capture this valuable resource flare it off.

BAE helps Landis SA maximize the amount of biogas produced which is used to fuel a 170 kW CHP system. The system then generates electricity and the excess heat produced by its engine creates hot water that heats the facility and warms the anaerobic digester.

The CHP system requires approximately 34% less fuel compared to typical energy supply systems, thereby reducing CO₂ emissions by an estimated 820 tons per year --equivalent to removing 140 passenger vehicles from the road.

"We are honored to be partners with the Landis SA and commend Dennis Palmer, Executive Director, Clark Shimp, Process Control Manager, and the rest of their team for their exemplary environmental initiatives," said Kevin Mulvihill, CEO of JSH international. Mulvihill added, "Biogas utilization is increasing worldwide. As a low cost booster, BAE will maximize renewable production capabilities."
