| In a public/private partnership with Praxair, Inc., the
Authority constructed a state-of-the-art oxygen production and supply facility
in Sayreville, which will be powered by the recycled energy from the Landfill
Gas-to-Energy project. Oxygen is a major component in the wastewater treatment
process. The element was previously supplied by an on-site cryogenic plant,
however the new facility will provide greater efficiency and improved safety
standards to the Wastewater Treatment Facility's operation. Preliminary
estimates indicate that the Authority will capture a 20% reduction in oxygen
and energy expenditures, which will accumulate into cost savings of several
hundred thousand dollars annually. |
