Title:
W11 Water Environment Federation/The Water Research Foundation: Renewable Revenue Streams Through Best Practices and Safe Operation of Renewable Natural Gas Facilities
Description:
Are you a resource recovery facility or engineer interested in learning the ins and outs of upgrading biogas to renewable natural gas (RNG)? Then this workshop is for you! This workshop will focus on the myriad of steps required for implementing RNG for pipeline injection, with a comprehensive comparison of treatment technologies putting your utility on a path for increased revenues from the sale of renewable identification numbers and commodity gas. Multiple case studies will be provided to help guide decision-making and safe operation of systems.
