Americus RNG Facility

Americus, Georgia

The project was to redesign an existing renewable natural gas facility to process 8 million gallons of manure waste water to anaerobic digestors for production of methane to inject in a gas pipeline. The scope included installation of over 3,000 yards of concrete, erection of 3 each 1.8 million gallon anaerobic digesters, 25,000 yards of imported dirt, 3/4” to 18” Stainless and HDPE piping, and roughly 180,000 feet of cabling for power and controls.

The project was challenged with an aggressive schedule, as well as a client that had minimal documentation for the existing facility or its design. The team assessed the existing dairy to confirm design assumptions, which were found to be inaccurate and caused significant growth in scope to achieve owner criteria for gas production.
