Anaerobic Digestion

National Expert: Nathan Hamm

 

SCS offers turn-key services for Anaerobic Digestion plants that convert organic byproducts — such as animal manure, meat and food scraps, wastewater treatment biosolids, used spoiled produce, and more — into carbon-negative renewable energy. Our teams employ decades of energy systems expertise as we analyze the effects of process variation on project success. Our experts model, map, and evaluate complex systems to evaluate plant performance. These systems reduce waste, generate RNG or electricity, produce renewable fertilizer supplements, and support electric utilities and farms pursuing renewable energy. We consider project objectives and requirements while taking your technical, business, and environmental objectives into account.

SCS works with the agricultural and waste industries – farms, digester owners, developers, utilities, governments, and renewable energy end-users. Experience with a diverse client base translates into experience with a variety of stakeholders. You can count on us to craft strategies that are efficient and effective. For us, a successful project isn’t just complete; your satisfaction and excitement for the positive impact on your business and community stakeholders underscores it.
