Centriair Selected to Build the Air Pollution and Odor Control System at the Rialto Bioenergy Facility in California

1/9/2019

 
Lake Mathews, CA, USA – January 4, 2019 – The South Coast Air Quality Management District has awarded Centriair and Anaergia a $4.35M grant to eliminate air emissions from the Rialto Bioenergy facility’s biosolids dewatering, drying, and handling operations.

The Rialto Bioenergy facility takes wastewater biosolids to produce biogas that is then added to the natural gas pipeline system. The biosolids are heat dried to kill any remaining pathogens, ultimately creating a safe fertilizer product. Drying biosolids generates not only odors but also excessive amounts of air emissions that are harmful to the environment.


Dr. Anders Wistrom, CEO of Centriair (USA) was quoted “we are thrilled to make this
partnership with Anaergia and the Air Quality Management District. We can showcase the versatility of Centriair’s near zero emissions technologies to a wider audience as new waste-to- energy facilities are being planned and constructed in California and elsewhere in the United States.”
This project addresses both air quality and climate goals. Replacing the high temperature thermal oxidization unit with ColdOxTM not only eliminates the cost for the fuel required for heating but also eliminates emissions of carbon dioxide, organic pollutants, and nitrogen and sulfur oxides. Eliminating nitrogen and sulfur oxide emissions reduce the potential for the formation of small particles that can be inhaled and penetrate deeply into sensitive parts of the lungs and cause serious health problems.

Air Pollution and Odor Control System

A clean-air solutions provider, Centriair, is taking part in this ambitious project in the Inland Empire to construct the air pollution and odor control system for the biosolids dryer. Air quality emissions and impacts from biosolids treatment include criteria pollutants, greenhouse gases, hazardous air pollutants, and odor emissions. In successive pre-treatment steps ammonia and hydrogen sulfide are removed using a chemical scrubber and adsorption media, respectively. Remaining hazardous air pollutants and reduced sulfur compounds, organic compounds, and odor emissions are eliminated using Centriair's core technology, ColdOxTM, a photo oxidation technology that utilizes ultraviolet light followed by activated carbon as the polishing step.

South Coast Air Quality Management District

In January 2018, the South Coast Air Quality Management District released a Request for Proposals to solicit projects that result in emissions reductions of nitrogen oxides, organic pollutants and particulate matter. The broad based solicitation was open to a wide range of projects including zero and near zero emissions replacement technologies to achieve emissions reductions. Eighty two proposals were received and twenty-five proposals met the technical and policy objectives of the Air Quality Management District. The Centriair/Anaergia proposal received the highest ranking in the category “stationary source replacement/repower/retrofit efficiency improvement and related infrastructure.”

​About Centriair

Centriair is a Swedish clean tech company specializing in meeting the needs for clean air with a special focus on waste- and food industry segments. Founded in 2007, Centriair is expanding steadily. It has offices and warehouse facilities across Europe, UK and the US. Centriair offers well tested and proven portfolio of air emissions control technologies including:
  • ColdOxTM - oxidation of organic pollutants, reduced sulfur compounds and odorants through the use of high intensity ultra violet light and photo chemical oxidation often followed by activated carbon as a polishing step. Oxidation rates of up to 98% at ambient temperatures with minimum energy requirement and ozone slip. Uses include wastewater treatment and pumping; biosolids transport, storage and processing; solid waste reception, sorting and processing.
  • CentrOxTM - combines advanced centrifugal separation with the ColdOxTM system in the case where particles in solid or droplet form are present in the gas stream. One hundred percent of particles larger than one micron are routinely removed on a continuous basis. Uses include deep-fat frying and roasting applications in food and beverage industries.
  • SulphaRedTM – removal of hydrogen sulfide and other reduced sulfur compounds with catalytic iron filters, adsorption media, etc., as a pretreatment step for ColdOxTM
  • DEOTM – low temperature catalytic destruction of broad array of volatile organic chemicals, mercaptans, and other high intensity odorants and near zero nitrogen oxides emissions. Designed for point-source applications at smaller flowrates. Uses include sludge centrifuges, small pump stations, and tank headspace ventilation. 

Looking for High-Quality Glögg?

Swedish glögg is ready to conquer the U.S.

A Swedish Christmas delicacy is about to enter the American market as Sjoeblom Winery
in Napa, California launches glögg, a warm, spiced wine drink Swedes love to sip during
the holiday season.

Ironically for the Swedes, the US version of glögg is of far better quality than the original as
its base is a Napa high quality Vintage Syrah from 2016.
- Sadly, the wines typically used to produce glögg is of poor quality and therefore great
amounts of sugar needs to be added. Sjöblom Glögg contains only half the amount of sugar
normally used and has a rather elegant and sophisticated taste, says Mike Sjöblom,
winemaker and founder of Sjoeblom Winery.

Sjöblom Glögg contains some 15 spices, including cloves, cardamom, ginger, cinnamon,
meadowsweet, raisin, and orange zest. The all organic, non-GMO spice mix has been
carefully selected by Mike Sjöblom and his team in Sweden to get just the right taste and
sweetness.

This first year, the Napa winery has produced close to 12,000 bottles of glögg, for the US
market alone. Considering there are almost four million Swedes in the United States, there is
a huge potential market here. Even more so, if Americans would take the glögg tradition to
their hearts.
​
- Every Christmas, Swedes drink in average 17 ounces of glögg per person. If 325 million
Americans would do the same it would be... well, a lot! says Mike Sjöblom with a faint smile.
