The Greater Lawrence Sanitary District has entered into a contract to have Synagro operate and maintain a biosolids drying facility in North Andover, Massachusetts for the next ten years
BALTIMORE, Maryland, October 3, 2018 – Synagro, the preeminent provider of biosolids and residuals solutions services in North America, today announced that it has been contracted to operate and maintain a biosolids drying facility (the “facility”) owned by the Greater Lawrence Sanitary District (GLSD), effective October 1, 2018.
The 38-dry-ton-per-day biosolids management facility was originally placed into service for the GLSD in 2002. Synagro will be responsible for ensuring reliable processing of the GLSD’s biosolids through the facility, producing a Class A fertilizer. The biosolids drying facility utilizes biogas produced onsite to fuel the heat drying process virtually eliminating the need for fossil fuels. In addition to cost savings, there is also a marked reduction in trucking related to this technology compared to others.
“Synagro is pleased to be bringing our facilities and asset management expertise to the GLSD,” said Pam Racey, vice president of project development, Synagro. “We look forward to applying industry best practices, safety audits and upgrades that will keep the facility in compliance with anticipated regulatory changes, and to generating significant operational savings for the GLSD.”
“The GLSD is excited to partner with Synagro, a leading biosolids recycler in the U.S., as the District transforms its treatment plant into an energy neutral facility utilizing sustainable resources while providing a valuable service to its member communities in the Merrimack Valley of Massachusetts,” said Cheri Cousens, executive director, Greater Lawrence Sanitary District.
