Bioenergy Devco (BDC), the North American division of BTS Bioenergy, LLC and global leader in the design, engineering, construction, financing, and operation of anaerobic digestion facilities, has announced that it has received permitting approval for construction of its organics recycling facility at its Bioenergy Innovation Center in Seaford, Delaware.
The expanded Bioenergy Innovation Center in Seaford will use the safe, tested, proven technology of anaerobic digestion to turn organic food waste into clean, renewable natural gas, as well as a soil amendment that will be composted onsite to be used in agriculture, horticulture projects, community gardens and more.
Anaerobic digestion is a natural microbial process that produces clean, renewable energy and a nutrient-rich soil amendment, creating a truly circular system. In Bioenergy Devco’s 25-year history, it has built over 250 anaerobic digesters around Europe and the United States and manages 140 anaerobic digesters.
The Bioenergy Innovation Center received Resource Recovery, Air Quality Natural Minor and Wastewater Facility Construction permitting approvals from Delaware’s Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC). Bioenergy Devco is planning to form an advisory committee for the project, aiming to incorporate feedback from community stakeholders.
