There will be a Waste-to-Energy workshop at 10 a.m. Dec. 1 at West Chester University in Pennsylvania. It will focus on the emerging market of small-scale organic waste-to-energy systems for campuses and facilities, food processors and breweries, as well as small farms and wastewater treatment plants.

The event is free and open to those in related industries or academic studies. A discussion and networking luncheon will follow the seminar.

Speakers will include Dr. John Pisciotta of the Pisciotta Lab at West Chester University, who has developed microbially based platforms for bioremediation of waste streams into fuels and useful products. Ken Smith of SeaB Energy, which produces modular digesters, and Jill Santos and Dan Sodomsky of Duryea Technologies, a manufacturer of brushless motors and gensets for biogas applications, will present new commercial technologies for small-scale waste-to-energy.
