PNNL has developed Hydrothermal Liquefaction (HTL) technology, which can directly convert sewage sludge to a biocrude oil that can be refined into renewable diesel fuel and provide a significant reduction in the volume of biosolids produced as ash with far less potential environmental impacts associated with disposal. HTL also produces an aqueous byproduct stream that requires treatment before it can be returned to the headworks of the Wastewater Resource Recovery Facilities (WRRF). The goal of this project is to evaluate synergies of using HTL and advanced AD to enable the treatment and recycle of HTL aqueous phase. This CRADA will; 1) formalize and strengthen the working relationship between PNNL and GLWA, 2) jointly evaluate HTL and AD scenarios for WRRFs and 3) help enable the implementation of HTL/AD technology at GLWA and other WRRFs.
