Generating Uptime

The Gresham Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) refocused their efforts on reducing power by increasing biogas production. Their primary goal was to reach “energy net zero,” generating the same amount of energy they use to operate. The installation of a new Cat® G3508 gas genset led to more power output, allowing the facility to operate independent of power from the utility grid.
