Under the terms of the contract, Anaergia Services expects to operate the Facility for the next 10 years.

The Facility is designed to convert up to 1,000 tons per day of municipal wastewater biosolids and landfill-diverted, organic waste into up to 985,000 MMBtu per year of renewable natural gas (“RNG”) and fertilizer.

“The RBS is a critical asset serving the organic waste diversion needs of Los Angeles’ RecycLA franchise and the broader Southern California region. We are making capital and operational improvements to ensure we provide a reliable organics processing solution,” said Steve Compton, President of Sevana Bioenergy.

“We are pleased and proud to be entrusted in operating the RBS facility, that is playing a critical role in organic waste recycling in the heart of California,” said Assaf Onn, CEO of Anaergia.
