The process. And, so there is a lot more positive to it. And our challenge as we look forward is actually to handling of the food waste. You know, again today, the city has a contract with them to actually pick up the food waste, and recology has indicated that they do not have the capacity to segregate the food in the city and so they transport it by truck and they are planning to build a digester in vacaville and to feed the fuel of the truck that are being used to transport. And so we have the capacity, for high strength waste, and if we were to get a full high strength waste, we can certainly process it, but challenges that we see, and that we have seen everywhere including in oslow is for the high strength waste to be effective it needs to be 100 percent organic and there needs to be a diligent process prelined to be sure that none of the organic processes have been taken out, the most common are forks and knives and plates that have been thrown in on accident. And is that differe
Okay, what did you find that the operating costs. We found that in terms of one and two were the most expensive, and number one, with the mechanical drawing, because of the cost of electricity, of learning the mechanical dryers and then two, the Staff Associated it. And so, as an example, when we did visit williams end in ireland, that it is a very large plant and they actually went two operations at the same time on the plant and one they were on the thermal process that they put in ten years ago and in another area, they continue to run the older process, which was the mechanical drawing and they told us that comparing the two, the mechanical drawing costs 5 times more to operate than the thermal process on their plant. And we did i ran an independent analysis and found the numbers to be accurate from analytical perspective and so the mechanical drawing very expensive. Composting was expensive either because of the additional costs associated with buying land and hiring the staff tha
Were two resolutions in the packet, the first was correct and just to clarify, on page 5, the third, or it was, or has after section 9. 118, the wording, along with the approval of the settlement of any appeals by this. And based on the terms of the mitigation agreements, and be it. That was the correct resolution, which was the first. Commissioners are you clear on the resolutions . No i am not, where are they . In the staff report. Okay. There are two resolutions i have replaced the resolution and omitted taking out the second resolution, when the new version went in. And the first one in the packet was the correct. Okay. And the only difference between the two is the wording in the page 5, with the second for the resolved part. In the packet. In your. In the directors desk. Yes. Okay. Thank you. So, can we hear from our council . Thank you. President , and members of the commission, josh, deputy City Attorney and i would like to draw your attention and there are a couple in todays f
By virtue of being introduced to the High Pressure and the high steam, the sludge is broken down at a moleculer level and so when it enters into the digester, the bacteria that we typically use for the digestion process has an easier time to consume it. And so that it makes it easier for the digestion process, therefore, making the digestion process more efficient and more effective reducing the over all size of the digestion that we need and reducing the over all product that they have. And emissions. And emissions yes. And the bacteria that is used in this process and that is similar to the bacteria that is used in the oil spilled consumption. I do not know sir, i do not know what is being spilled. But the bacteria that we do use, in the digestion process which is a mesofile is a very, standard, type of bacteria that we use in the industry and i have an example and in los angeles and chicago where they use the digestion, they use the same type of bacteria. Commissioners . Commissione
For, when you said that the waste is consumed before it goes into the final drawing. Yeah. Is it consumed by what . What it is is it is broken down. So it is not consumed but it is by virtue of being introduced to the High Pressure and the high steam, the sludge is broken down at a moleculer level and so when it enters into the digester, the bacteria that we typically use for the digestion process has an easier time to consume it. And so that it makes it easier for the digestion process, therefore, making the digestion process more efficient and more effective reducing the over all size of the digestion that we need and reducing the over all product that they have. And emissions. And emissions yes. And the bacteria that is used in this process and that is similar to the bacteria that is used in the oil spilled consumption.
