Biosolids-to-Energy Project Leads to 15-MW Power Facility

Stamford waste gasification system will produce power, opens new market for biosolids

Stamford, Conn., has proven that when gasification — a century-old technology known for its role in “clean coal” — is combined with biosolids, it produces power.

About 6 years of research, design, and testing for the Stamford project has culminated in the design of a 15-MW biosolids gasification facility. This first-of-a-kind project in the United States may increase the value of wastewater facilities and assist with energy independence.
