Rentech Rialto Renewable Center Project

Rentech Rialto Renewable Center Project

The proposed project consists of an industrial urban green waste-to-energy biomass-based fuel and power production plant that would be constructed adjacent to the existing City of Rialto Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP). It is anticipated that the proposed project would make use of tertiary reclaimed water from the City of Rialto WWTP to minimize use of new water supplies and discharge a portion of the wastewater back to the WWTP or the Santa Ana Regional Interceptor Line. In general, the project would consist of the following elements: 1) a new access road on a portion of the Holliday Property; 2) an office, warehouse, control and maintenance buildings; 3) a raw feedstock handling area; 4) a gasifier unit; 5) a syngas conditioner unit; 6) a Fischer-Tropsch unit; 7) a product upgrading unit; 8) a power generator unit; 9) a wastewater pre-treatment system; 10) several; storm water retention ponds and off-site drainage to the City of Rialto Property east of the Holliday Property; 11) flares for combusting vent gases from startups and shutdowns; 12) an elevated pipe rack to transport materials from unit to unit; 13) intermediate and product storage tanks; 14) internal roads; 15) a retail and wholesale power interconnection; and 16) a new access road.
