Bayview Flowers

An anaerobic digestion system converts organic waste streams into bio-gas, which can be used for fuel. Technological advancements permit these digesters to receive waste streams with higher levels of physical impurities that would normally go into landfills. At the same time, the waste product of this process (digestate) becomes nutrient rich and can then be sold commercially as an organic potting soil or fertilizer. Bayview generates 6500 cubic meters of nutrient rich fertilizer enough for about 500 acres. Bayview’s digestion system is unique in that it is the first example, which utilizes thermophilic digestion to produce higher levels of bio-gas and simultaneously pasteurizes the digestate for its safe handling. This facility is a regulated mixed anaerobic digestion facility operating under OMAFRA rules in the Nutrient Management Regulation.
