In Yorkshire, U.K., our energy-efficient Flygt top-entry agitators — a propeller type of mixer that can handle thick, high-fiber sludge — are part of a new waste treatment facility that processes and recycles waste. The plant produces nutrient-rich compost for land application and biogas green energy that generates roughly three-quarters of the plant’s own energy needs. These processes are reducing waste going to landfills while supporting the U.K.’s transition to a low-carbon economy.
