In Iowa, Burnham RNG, LLC has selected Gross-Wen Technologies, a leading algae-based wastewater treatment company based in rural Slater, Iowa to provide wastewater treatment at the company’s proposed Pasco, Washington Resource Recovery Center (PRRC or Project). The PRRC is an innovative industrial wastewater treatment facility that will clean wastewater from seven food processors within the City of Pasco’s (City) jurisdiction. The Project will support the growth of the City’s booming agribusiness sector while turning wastewater into clean energy and providing clean water and nutrients to irrigate and fertilize City-owned farmlands.
Gross-Wen’s innovative and patented Revolving Algae Biofilm (RAB) treatment technology is being implemented to cost-effectively and sustainably remove nutrients from the process wastewater. The PRRC will enable the reuse of an estimated 1.5 billion gallons of wastewater per year and is estimated to produce enough RNG to supply over 4,500 Washington state residential customers each year with a clean and renewable source of natural gas.
