Waste Water Treatment Plant
The Water Resource Recovery Center (WRRC) in Dubuque, IA, processes an average of 7 million gallons of wastewater daily, sourced from homes, businesses, schools, and industries. Utilizing pure oxygen biological treatment and anaerobic digesters, the facility converts solid waste into fertilizer and generates electricity from methane gas, significantly reducing waste and promoting sustainability.
In addition to producing approximately 155 tons of fertilizer each day, the WRRC captures and cleans methane gas to power turbines, supplying enough electricity to support around 360 households. This innovative approach not only enhances the local environment but also exemplifies the center's commitment to effective waste management and resource recovery.
