It covers the process of converting sewage sludge into valuable energy products, feedback from what the wastewater community wants from such a technology, background and updates on North America's first demonstration-scale HTL facility, and innovative advancements aimed at improving reliability and eventual commercialization of the technology. Attendees will gain insights of the HTL process works, process benefits, first hand experience and lessons learned of developing such a demonstration facility and vision for the future of HTL could look like and how it can lead to sustainable sludge management. Presentation 1: Hydrothermal Liquefaction for Solid Waste Reduction, Energy Efficiency, Decarbonization, and PFAS destruction Presentation 2: Hydrothermal Liquefaction Demonstration Facility using Wastewater Sludge Presentation 3: GLWA’s/DOE’s/BETO’s Research into Hydrothermal Liquefaction to Convert Organic Wet Wastes to Transportation Fuels
Summary: John will present an overview of the BETO/DOE project that GLWA was awarded, and that is currently in its final budget period. The project has explored technical and public stakeholder interest and support, developed life-cycle analysis (LCA) and techno-economic analyses (TEA) for the process at GLWA, and is currently pilot testing sludge and other feedstock processing using Genifuel’s trailer-mounted HTL and CHG system. Ongoing testing will include process PFAS-PFOA disposition when fed indigenous and PFAS/PFOA-spiked sludge to biocrude, ash, aqueous-phase, or gas-phase end points.
Speaker: John Willis, Brown and Caldwell
