Poo Power!

The largest wastewater facility in New York City, The Newton Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant, is being redesigned and re-engineered to produce methane fuel and fertilizer from raw sewage.  It's totally awesome.



Giant digesters, in the shape of massive steel eggs, are capable of processing 1.5 million gallons of sludge every day.  It's exciting because all that bio-matter is capable of returning to the soil, where it can benefit agricultural operations.
