Project

The Saint-Hyacinthe wastewater treatment plant was commissioned in 1987. The biological process to treat the urban and industrial wastewater produces organic sludge continuously. Since a few years, this sludge has been a serious problem given the continually increasing cost for transportation and disposal.

Since the city managers wanted to find a permanent and environmentally friendly solution, in the first phase they decided to install three (3) anaerobic digesters connected to the municipal sludge treatment system and to a dryer system.

In the second phase, the city of Saint-Hyacinthe adds the processing of organic materials from the agri-food industry and the collection of residential organic waste which requires the addition of 5 digesters, 2 hydrolysers, whey tank and 3 tanks of liquid organic materials.
