Medina, Ohio: Cutting Biosolids and Boosting Biogas with Advanced Anaerobic Digestion

28 August 2025 10:00 CDT | 11:00 EDT | 17:00 CEST Americas

Join us for a deep dive into Medina County, Ohio’s successful transition from an aging wet-air oxidation system to a modern, energy-efficient biosolids treatment facility. This webinar will explore how the Kenneth W. Hotz Water Reclamation Facility implemented Cambi's Thermal Hydrolysis Process (CambiTHP) and Mesophilic Anaerobic Digestion (MAD) to significantly reduce biosolids volumes, generate renewable energy, and centralize sludge treatment for an entire county.

Through first-hand insights and operational data, we’ll examine the motivations behind the upgrade, the technical configuration, and the outcomes that have positioned Medina as a forward-thinking example for wastewater utilities across North America.

 

What You’ll Learn

  • The key drivers behind Medina’s decision to replace a decades-old Zimpro system.
  • How CambiTHP and anaerobic digestion were integrated into a design-build project
  • Performance improvements in sludge reduction, energy generation, and operational efficiency.
  • How Medina created a centralized biosolids processing hub in the county.
  • Biogas recovery metrics, electricity cost savings, and Class A biosolids outcomes.

 

Who Should Attend

This webinar is ideal for:

  • Plant Operators and Engineers looking to adopt energy-efficient sludge treatment processes.
  • Facility Managers and Utility Directors considering modernization and centralization strategies.
  • Environmental Engineers and Consultants involved in biosolids planning and design.
  • Municipal and Public Decision-Makers evaluating sustainable infrastructure investments.
  • Sustainability Advocates, Researchers, and Students focused on clean technologies, biogas, and circular economy solutions.
