| Bethany Beach, DE |  |
The South Coastal Regional Wastewater Plant serves Bethany Beach, Delaware and surrounding communities The facility is a 9.0 MGD activated sludge process that generates approximately 900 dry tons of biosolids prior to lime addition yearly. Prior to installation of the belt filter press and pasteurization equipment, the operators land applied 5 million gallons of Class B biosolids annually. The lime pasteurized product now called "South Coastal Blend" is returned to the earth in cooperation with about 16-18 farming operations. The product is used for soy beans, wheat and corn. The product can be stored at the facility or in the farmer's field until ready for use. . |
| Bucyrus, OH | |
Prior to making a biosolids change to EnVessel Pasteurization, the City of Bucyrus, Ohio was facing a significant cost increase to dispose of dewatered cake at a local landfill at $45 per ton. Now the City is returning a valuable Class A product to the earth at about 1/3 the cost of landfilling. |
| Greenwood, SC | |
The District's Class A product is produced using RDP's EnVessel Pasteurization System which is a "Green Process" that returns biosolids with valuable nutrients to the earth. The RDP System is located at the Wilson Creek Plant. Dewatered solids are transported by truck from the West Alexander plant to Wilson Creek where both plant's solids are processed thru the RDP System. |
| Seymour, IN | |
The plant produces about 700 dry tons per year of solids before lime addition for pasteurization. This Class A product is land applied by local farmers at agronomic loading rates between 3-5 dry tons per acre on mostly corn and some soybean fields. Prior to installing the EnVessel Pasteurization System the plant struggled to keep up with a Class B liquid application program on permitted farm sites. Now with their Class A product volume is significantly reduced and farm site permits are no longer an issue. |

| Tomah, WI | With an average daily flow of 1.0 MGD and an average of 450 dry tons per year, Tomah decided on a small RDP EnVessel™ Pasteurization System. | |
| Winchester, KY | In 1998, Winchester had storage lagoons filled with 25,000,000 gallons of excess sludge. They implemented a plan including RDP's EnVessel™ Pasteurization Process that would, over the next five years, empty the lagoon and produce a spreadable, Class A product. | |
