Milestones
- The BioRem must be operational by August 2026, as per SCHD mandate
- Continuous data collection with the must SWG100 biogas analyzer be achieved, as per SCHD mandate.
- Continuous monthly reporting of gas volumes and quality to Tasha King-Davis using the TEM BioRem Data-Calcs v2.xlsx spreadsheet (or ultimately the gastrack package).
- Contract a storage tank for wasted process water.
Risks
- Maintenance
- Sulfur buildup on media
- Sulfur buildup in the process water lines
- Flame arrester melting
- Corrosion of controls components
- Loss of experience and know-how
- Limited documentation of protocols and procedures
- Heat tracer failure
- Operation
- Not achieving or maintaining stability of the biological system
- Loss of experience and know-how
- Restart from zero after a cleaning process to remove elemental sulfur scaling on media.
- Low quality gas production that is too wet to burn
- Low quality gas production that is undesirable to users such as TVA
- Limited documentation of protocols and procedures
- Process design
- Removed sulfur is simply routed back to the plant rather than being removed from the process.
