PROJECT DETAIL
Sioux City Biogas Master Plan
Challenge
The City of Sioux City needed to create revenue, reduce disposal fees and produce renewable natural gas through municipal waste conversion.
Solution
Bartlett & West recommended improvements to an existing anaerobic digestion system, thus allowing the City to capture, clean and compress gas at its wastewater treatment plant, then sell it as renewable natural gas. As a leading company in this sector, Bartlett & West served as a strong ally for Sioux City from concept to completion.
Value
This project allows Sioux City to capitalize on this market opportunity with ease and at minimal cost. The project pays for itself in only three years and will produce just under 2.1 million gallons of gasoline offset annually, which is marketed to generate revenue and minimize utility rate increases for local consumers.
