Anaergia Signs Deals To Upgrade MSU Anaerobic Digester
Anaergia Inc., through its subsidiary, Anaergia Technologies LLC, has entered into agreements to upgrade the South Campus anaerobic digester (SCAD) located at the South Campus anaerobic digester and compost facility at Michigan State University (MSU).
The SCAD project at MSU, located in East Lansing, Mich., is one of the largest operating anaerobic digesters (ADs) on a university campus in the United States. On April 12, 2024, MSU began construction of the new MSU dairy cattle teaching and research centre. Construction is to be completed by 2026. The new facility will host 680 dairy cows. Correspondingly, the MSU SCAD needs upgrading to handle the increased amount of animal waste from the new facility. Anaergia recently completed phase 1 of the SCAD upgrade project, which involved replacing components on its plug flow digester. Anaergia is now engaged as a technology supplier in phase 2 of the upgrade for the complete-mix digester tank.
