Sewer plant eyed as greenest in U.S. Sioux City officials highlight project to turn waste into renewable fuel IAN RICHARDSON

Business Journal staff writer‌

Justin Wan, Sioux City Journal

Excess natural gas is being burnt at Sioux City Wastewater Treatment Plant in Sioux City. Rather than continue to burn it off, the city plans to capture, clean and compress the gas in order to sell it on the market as renewable fuel.

SIOUX CITY – For years, a potential resource at Sioux City’s wastewater treatment plant has literally been going up in flames.

Like many facilities around the country, the treatment plant uses a flare to burn the methane gas created as a byproduct during the anaerobic digestion process the city uses to break down raw sludge.

“It burns this fuel off so that it’s basically environmentally acceptable,” city utilities director Mark

Simms said.

“That’s very common throughout the U.S.” Sioux City leaders are now hoping Simms to harness the potential of this gas through a project that will allow it to be cleaned and re-purposed. A $9.1 million project set to break ground this August will install new equipment to capture, clean and compress the gas and turn it into renewable fuel to be sold on the national market for use in vehicles.

It’s a process the city anticipates will generate significant revenue, as well as reduce air emissions and improve odor control at the facility. Once the project is complete next summer, the revenue from the sale of the

renewable fuel is expected to pay for itself in two to five years, Simms said. He said conservative estimates show it could generate $4 million per year for the city.

“The expected revenue may offset the need for some future rate increases,” he said.

The Sioux City Council gave the original go-ahead for the project in January 2017, allowing the city to enter the planning phase.

Ground will be broken later this summer and, if all proceeds as scheduled, work will finish by June 2019.

At that time, Simms said, Sioux City will likely be the first wastewater treatment facility in the state – and one of only five in the country – to have such a program.

“With this cutting-edge equipment and technology, as well as changes in some of

our treatment processes, the city could have the greenest renewable natural gas project to date in the United States,” he said.

The city has contracted with Bartlett and West, an engineering firm based in West Des Moines, for engineering and planning services for the project.

Philip Gates, a senior project manager with the firm, said the technology the city will use has been established in European countries for around 20 years.

“It’s a proven technology but just hasn’t been introduced here because we have cheaper fuel rates and electricity is cheaper here than what it is in Europe,” he said.

The city has purchased equipment including a chemical scrubber, moisture removal system and carbon dioxide removal

system through a $2.25 million contract with DMT Clear Gas Solutions of Tualatin, Oregon. Gates said he believes the project will break ground this year. The city currently produces approximately 300,000 cubic feet of methane gas per day and could potentially create more in the future, Simms said. Once the equipment is online, that is expected to create renewable fuel equal to 2,631 gallons of gasoline per day.

Through the cleaning, Gates said the city intends to also capture carbon dioxide – one of the contaminants in the gas – and reuse it in the wastewater treatment process as a chemical additive, which could potentially reduce the use of other chemicals.

Gates said the city is looking at meeting the requirements of California’s lowcarbon fuel standard, which would allow it to sell the gas to markets in that state.

Since the nationwide market for national gas is volatile, the city is still considering whether it will ride with the ups or downs of the market or lock itself into a fixed long-term price, which would be reduced from the current rate, Gates said.

The wastewater treatment plant will be hiring two additional employees that will assist with the project.

The city is also considering whether it could use some of the fuel it creates in its own vehicle fleet.

This project is the latest

move by the city to reduce the environmental impact of its wastewater treatment process and lessen the impact on ratepayers.

In late 2016, the city entered a five-year land application agreement with BigAg Organic LLC, a Larchwood, Iowa, company, to allow biosolids produced during the treatment project to be used as fertilizer on

approved public and private land. The city generates approximately 35,000 wet tons of the product per year.

The biosolids had previously been deposited in the landfill by Gill Hauling Inc., the private contractor that hauls the city’s garbage and recycling. The city is expected to save more than $2 million over the first five years through the switch.

A digester sits at the city’s wastewater treatment plant. The city plans to install a system that will divert, clean up and compress a gas created as a byproduct during the anaerobic digestion process the city uses to break down raw sludge and turn it into biosolids.

People skate at the new outdoor skating rink at Cone Park. For the summer months, the rink has been converted to a free splash pad.

Jim Lee, Sioux City Journal

From winter thrills to

summer splashes

After winter of tubing and ice skating, Cone Park introduces splash pad, trail IAN RICHARDSON

Business Journal staff writer

SIOUX CITY – Sioux City’s introduction to Cone Park was a cold one.

The brand-new park opened on a frigid night in December, but that didn’t stop Siouxlanders from braving the weather in the chilly weeks that followed for a chance

to slide down the park’s 700-foot tubing hill, glide on its refrigerated ice skating rink and relax in its fire pit and concession area.

Now, with warmer weather in full swing, Siouxlanders have their first opportunity to enjoy the all-season park’s sunnier, splashier side.

In mid-May, Cone Park’s 110-by-50-foot skating rink fully transitioned into a splash pad. Parkgoers can also now trek the park’s two-mile trail loop and rent out the park’s day lodge for events.

The park’s free splash pad is the first one to be located in Morningside, and the third city-run splash pad to be opened in Sioux

City. The public can come anytime between 10 a.m. and 8 p.m. and flip it on with a button in the splash pad concrete close to the day lodge.

The park’s summer transition comes after a winter of being high in demand. By the time Cone Park closed its tubing hill for the season March 11, it had sold admission to more than 20,000 in under four months of winter operation.

City parks and recreation staff said they were pleased with the inaugural season.

“The weekends were just slammed,” Parks and Recreation Director Matt Salvatore said during an April parks board

meeting. “We were – especially in the afternoon – sold out probably more than we weren’t.”

Following its first season, the park landed on MSN.com’s list of the best new tourist attractions in each state as the top spot in Iowa.

Now, the park is looking to make a name for itself as an all-seasons attraction. City staff have been marketing the day lodge as a place to rent for wedding receptions, birthday parties, family reunions, business meetings and more.

The lodge’s large windows provide a view of the spacious park, along with seating for

up to 80 guests, flat-screen TVs and free wireless internet. Those holding events can bring in their own catering, but the lodge also has a variety of beer and wine available for purchase.

Lodge rentals are requested two weeks in advance, with prices running from $300 for a half-day during the week to $600 for a full day during the weekend.

The park is the result of more than a decade of planning by the city and volunteers.

Its namesake is the late philanthropist Ruth Cone, the wife of a prominent Sioux City cattle buyer, whose family in 1981 created a trust for the purpose of establishing a new city park.

That trust grew to around $2.9 million, providing the lion’s share of funding for the approximately $5 million recreation facility.

Cone Park is located at 3800 Line Drive, near Lewis and Clark Park and the IBP Ice Center.

Take the appropriate steps to protect your hearing today

M

ost all of us have experienced loud noise at some point in our life but have you thought about the consequences. Any sound can damage your hearing if it is loud enough.

This includes loud noise on the job, as well as loud sounds in every day life, such as loud music, power tools or hunting. The louder the noise and the longer you are exposed to it, the more damage it can do.

Hearing loss from noise exposure is permanent and irreversible but completely preventable. Hearing protection should be worn in the workplace and at home when you are around loud noise.

Some ways to know if noise is too loud is: • If you have trouble understanding normal conversation with someone 2 feet away.

• If you have prolonged ringing or other noises after leaving a noisy area.

• If you have difficulty hearing speech, television, etc. for a few hours after being in noise.

• Contact the ATA’s Support Network www.ata.org/support.

• Obtain counseling. For some people, a licensed therapist or counselor can help with techniques to make tinnitus symptoms less bothersome and with effects of tinnitus such as anxiety or depression.

The best way to protect your hearing is to wear hearing protection. The best hearing protection device is the one you will wear correctly the entire time you’re exposed to excessive noise.

Whether you choose earplugs or earmuffs, look for something that offers an airtight seal.

You should have your hearing tested if you notice a change in your hearing. If you have sudden loss of hearing you should contact your doctor immediately.

Some hearing loss is normal as we get older. You may start to notice a change after age 50.

So turn down the volume on those headphones (remind your children to do this) and lower the volume on your stereo and TV.

When mowing the lawn, don’t forget the ear muffs or ear plugs.

If you are around frequent loud noise, have you hearing checked annually. A hearing test can detect mild hearing loss before the damage is obvious or disabling.

For more extensive information related to preventing hearing loss, check out Mayo Clinic on Better Hearing and Balance by the hearing experts at Mayo Clinic.

Just a reminder, there is no cure for hearing loss caused by noise.

Check with your employer if you feel that you are around loud noise at work. Many companies offer hearing testing to employees who are exposed to loud noise. I have personally conducted many hearing tests and it is always a pleasure to tell someone they have excellent hearing. Be safe in all you do.
