DC Water\u2019s Blue Plains Advanced Wastewater Treatment Plant is the largest thermal hydrolysis plant in the world and the first in North America.<\/p>\n<p>The resulting clean and renewable energy offsets the energy needs of Blue Plains by approximately one-third, reducing the plant\u2019s carbon footprint and lessening dependence on the grid.<\/p>\n<p>DC Water CEO and General Manager George S. Hawkins said, &#8220;The project is a crowning achievement for DC Water and exemplifies a shift from treating used water as waste to leveraging it as a resource. This innovative facility is generating renewable power, producing exceptional quality biosolids, reducing our carbon footprint, increasing plant efficiency, and ultimately saving ratepayer dollars.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This design-build project included a dewatering building, 32 thermal hydrolysis vessels, four 80-foot tall concrete digesters and three turbines the size of jet engines.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DC Water\u2019s Bailey Bioenergy Facility was recognized by the US Water Alliance with the prestigious 2016 U.S. Water Prize.
