Principle Investigator Chuck Coronella, left, and co-PI Victor Vasquez have developed a patent-pending fluid-bed system to dry wasterwater sludge, which is entering a demonstration-scale phase at a local Reno and Sparks, Nevada water reclamation facility. The low-cost, carbon-neutral system is designed to be onsite, ultimately reducing the trucking and landfill disposal fees as well as provide electrical power for a facility through a gasification and generation process.
