COMMERCIAL SUCCESS
South Davis Sewer District
$28M ABNR project announced May 2017with a commission date of spring 2019.
Co-construction of food waste to energy(producing 2,500 dekatherms of nat. gas)with ABNR creates an economic system tosupport the circular economy.
Extends the life of existing / agingwastewater infrastructure.
ABNR results in: 4 MGD of the highest quality reuse
water (3.0 mg/L TP to < 0.035 mg/L) 17,500 lbs. of CO2 recycled daily 8,000 lbs. of algal biomass daily 100% of biomass being sold for
plastics and foams Residual income stream to customer
From WASTE to VALUE!

ALGAE Advantage
An ideal fertilizer, it both provides nitrogen and phosphorous and increases moisture retention – applications have shown outstanding results
• Key ingredient in natural food colorants
• High in Omega 3s, APAs, and Antioxidants used in Nutraceuticals, Cosmetics and Pharma
• Most likely protein replacement choice
Proven in non-performing (filler) plastics – does not degrade functioning polymers
• High in fermentable carbohydrates
• Algae oil produces a superior surfactant
• Cell is easily lyced for access to cellular contents
High Lipid content vis-à-vis other biofuel feedstocks
