Anaergia Services has entered into a long-term operations and maintenance contract for Sevana Bioenergy’s waste-to-renewable natural gas facility, Anaergia said in a Nov. 15 press release.

The Rialto Bioenergy Solutions (RBS) facility, the largest of its kind in North America, is designed to convert up to 1,000 tons per day of municipal wastewater biosolids and landfill-diverted organic waste into up to 985,000 MMBtu per year of RNG and fertilizer.

RNG is produced from processed organic waste extracted from mixed municipal solid waste using Anaergia’s OREX, an advanced anaerobic digester technology.

Under the terms of the contract, Anaergia is set to operate the facility for the next 10 years.

“The RBS is a critical asset serving the organic waste diversion needs of Los Angeles’ RecycLA franchise and the broader Southern California region. We are making capital and operational improvements to ensure we provide a reliable organics processing solution,” said Steve Compton, president of Sevana Bioenergy.
