City of Burlington Receives Focus on Energy Grant

Release Date: June 17, 2008

B URLINGTON , Wisconsin – The City of Burlington Water Pollution Control Facility (WPCF) has been awarded a $150,299 grant from the Wisconsin Focus on Energy – Renewable Energy Program! Applied Technologies, Inc. (ATI) assisted the WPCF with the grant application process.

ATI and the Burlington WPCF are working together to design and construct a three phase expansion project to meet projected year 2027 loadings and improve operation of the facility. The Focus on Energy grant will fund upgrades to the facility’s existing biogas handling system, which is currently generating biogas that is unusable due to a high level of siloxanes. In order to remove these siloxanes and utilize the resulting biogas, gas treatment will be added and improvements will be made to the existing cogeneration engine.

ATI and the City of Burlington have partnered on several projects throughout the last 15 years, including design and construction of the current WPCF in 1992.
