What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

San Jose completed a $177 million dewatering facility at the San Jose-Santa Clara Regional Wastewater Facility off Zanker Road. This facility uses centrifuges and an odor control system to process digested sludge. The process allows biosolids to be made ready for use as compost or fertilizer in a day, replacing a process that previously took up to four years in open-air lagoons.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The new facility replaces decades of open-air drying beds, which were a source of significant odors near Alviso and Milpitas. The odor control system captures and treats foul air, providing a cleaner process for the communities closest to the plant and ensuring reliability regardless of weather conditions.
