2011 Renewable Energy Workshop- November 10, Wooster, Ohio: The workshop will offer opportunities to discuss and discover the latest sustainable practices and technology. quasar's V.P. of Engineering, Clemens Halene, will be presenting an industry prospective on anaerobic digestion.
Project Profile: quasar energy group and Haviland Plastic Products have partnered to construct an anaerobic digestion renewable energy facility in Haviland, Ohio. Approximately 40,000 wet tons of biosolids, regional food waste, and FOG (fats, oil and grease) will be diverted from local landfills and wastewater treatment plants each year. The biogas produced from the material will create 1 MW of electricity and CNG (compressed natural gas) to fuel local and fleet vehicles. Electricity generated by the project will be sold back to the neighboring Haviland Plastics manufacturing plant. The systems effluent will be land applied at local farms as a fertilizer supplement (marketing by quasar as equate) to improve crop growth.
