[USCC] Using wastewater digesters for food waste diversion

[Brennan, Terry]

Hi Michelle,

This topic was discussed in detail at the Pacific Southwest Organic
Residuals Symposium held on July 12th - 14th in Sacramento. The
proceedings are available through the link in the forwarded message
below.  You might find the presentations by Ruth McDougal from the
Sacramento Municipal Utilities District and by Yun Shang from the East
Bay Municipal Utilities District particularly helpful, but the all of
the presentations were worthwhile.

Greetings to all,

I am looking for municipalities or individuals who have had experiences
with the digestion of food waste through a waste water digestor system.
With the closure of our cannery system here, we have excess capacity at
the treatment plant (which we manage), and a zero waste goal.  I need to
do some research to see how we might proceed with moving material into
the system.  

Our treatment plant engineers are ready to try it, so they are looking
at the loading and facility side.  I would like more information on the
logistics of food waste generation, transportation, composting, etc.
Any contacts will be helpful.

Cheers  Michele Young
