Metro Vancouver

A facility that processes residual waste to generate electricity and heat, maximizing energy recovery from waste that cannot be recycled.

A process where microorganisms break down biodegradable materials in the absence of oxygen. In the Muckbuster, this process is used to digest waste and produce methane.

A retrofit technology developed by Covanta that improves the combustion process in waste-to-energy facilities to reduce nitrogen oxides emissions. The system brings operating levels to nearly three times lower than provincial regulatory limits.
