Mainstream Engineering Awarded Contract from the Army to Develop a Novel Solution to Produce Energy from Sewage

ROCKLEDGE, FL — 4/26/2021 — Mainstream Engineering Corporation has been awarded a contract from the Army to demonstrate a unique method of generating energy from sewage.

The Army needs the improved capability to enable self-sufficiency and reduce sustainment demands during distributed military operations. Sewage and high-water-content food wastes are both sources of organic matter that can be converted into energy.  Mainstream is developing a system to treat 1500 gallons of wastewater per day and be packaged in a Tricon (8-foot x 6.5-foot x 8 foot) shipping container.
