Description
The Simba Chips power plant is able to convert up to 11,500 metric tons of food scraps, fryer waste, and wastewater sludge into 800 kW (kilowatts) of renewable electricity each year using a high solids anaerobic digestion technology developed by Anaergia, a Canadian provider of waste processing solutions. In addition to generating electricity, this process also provides natural fertilizer for PepsiCo’s farm plantations in South Africa.
Products Used
Metier Mixed Concrete, the ready-mix concrete supplier, added Penetron’s antimicrobial admixture and PENETRON ADMIX, a crystalline waterproofing admixture, to the concrete mix for all concrete elements of the plant’s “biogester” system, buffer tank, and live pit. PENETRON ADMIX was added to the concrete mix to waterproof and provide the needed reinforcing corrosion mitigation to increase the service life of the concrete by decreasing the permeability and slowing down the aging of the concrete.
