The State of Washington will provide $2,000,000 in Recovery Act funds to Barr-Tech for the engineering and construction of an anaerobic digester and two combined heat and power (CHP) units at the Odessa Public Development Authority facility in Sprague, Washington. The anaerobic digester will process 80-100 tons per day of food wastes, yard waste, wooden demolition, and construction debris which will be brought to the site via truck. Each truck is expected to carry 22 tons of waste, resulting in an estimated 5 return truck trips per day. The site is along the 1-90 corridor and the waste will travel approximately 22 miles from Spokane, WA. Currently these wastes are hauled 60-480 miles round-trip to various sources for recycling and disposal.
