GeoEnvironment Technologies, now a subsidiary of Advantek Waste Management Services, is working hard to replicate the success of the TIRE project in municipalities around the country and the globe.

Why Deep Well Digestion/Sequestration?

Deep Earth Digestion / Sequestration has capital costs that are one to two orders of magnitude lower than alternative and traditional options, and operating costs that are also the lowest of available alternatives. Deep Earth Digestion / Sequestration can be readily co-located at a wastewater treatment plant, which eliminates all cost, emissions, and road hazards related to trucking. Lastly, Deep Earth Digestion / Sequestration can permanently sequester all carbon dioxide and methane emissions created by the breakdown of biosolids, substantially reducing greenhouse gas emissions while potentially providing substantial carbon credits. Sequestered methane is also available to be produced back to the surface as a source of renewable energy. Lastly, the processes is fully feedstock flexible, able to take sludge from just after the headworks and at any point in the wastewater treatment process thereafter. Taken together, these advantages position Deep Earth Digestion / Sequestration to be the lowest cost option available for municipalities.

Cost Effective Biosolids Management Solutions

Deep Earth Digestion / Sequestration of biosolids has capital costs that are one to two full orders-of-magnitude lower than alternative and traditional options, and operating costs that are also the lowest of available alternatives. These facilities can easily be co-located at a waste water treatment plant, eliminating all cost, emissions, and road hazards related to trucking. Lastly, Deep Earth Digestion / Sequestration of biosolids can permanently sequester all carbon dioxide and methane emissions created by the breakdown of biosolids, drastically reducing greenhouse gas emissions while potentially providing substantial carbon credits. Moreover, the methane that is formed is available for beneficial reuse subject to demand. Taken together, these advantages position Deep Earth Digestion / Sequestration of biosolids using slurry injection to be the very best option for long term management of biosolids.

In terms of startup expenditure and ongoing operational costs, our solution outperforms alternative systems.

CapEX: A three-well system sufficient to process up to 100 dry tons per day of biosolids can be installed for less than $10 million. When compared to the several hundred million dollars of capital expense required to set up systems such as drying and pelletizing plants, incineration, gasification, and other waste to energy technologies, Deep Earth Digestion / Sequestration provides substantial value to municipalities.

OpEx: Operating costs are also lower than the all other waste to energy technologies, and even lower than trucking and land application / landfilling.
