Iris Solutions, a consortium led by Orgaworld Canada and a part of the Organics Division of the waste and recycling firm, Shanks Group, has been selected as the proponent for the Surrey Biofuels Processing Facility project in Canada.
The facility will be designed to receive and process 115,000 tonnes of organic waste annually. When completed, it is expected to be the largest of its kind in Canada with a capacity to process 100% of the City's organic waste, along with commercial organic waste.
The facility will use an anaerobic digester to create biogas which can be used to power the city's natural gas waste collection trucks. It will also produce a compost product that will be suitable for landscaping and agricultural applications.
The facility is planned to be fully operational by late 2016.
