Anaergia Inc. has reached an agreement to construct a waste organics facility at Waste Management site in Sun Valley, Calif. This project is designed to recover food waste from Los Angeles’ municipal solid waste stream.
Anaergia will build a solid waste processing line at Waste Management’s Sun Valley Recycling Park. This processing line will feature Anaergia’s organics extrusion press (OREX), a technology that recovers organics from contaminated municipal solid waste through high pressure extrusion. The OREX line will be used to extract up to 300 tons per day of organic waste from the Los Angeles municipal solid waste stream. The Sun Valley facility is expected to begin operations in 2019.
