Fairfield, California, (Newsfile Corp. - October 19, 2026) - CCI BioEnergy and the Fairfield-Suisun Sewer District (FSSD) have signed a term sheet to advance the development of a new organics receiving and processing facility at FSSD’s wastewater treatment plant in Fairfield. The project aims to increase resource recovery, produce more biogas, and make greater use of FSSD’s existing treatment assets.
The facility, designed to prepare additional organic waste streams for co-digestion using FSSD’s existing anaerobic digesters, is part of a broader effort to reduce the disposal of organic waste in California. Specifically, the project aligns with California’s SB 1383, which seeks to reduce organic waste sent to landfills.
William Selten, President of CCI BioEnergy, expressed optimism about the project.
The receiving and processing station, developed by CCI BioEnergy, is designed to remove physical contaminants such as grit, glass, and plastics before the pre-treated material reaches FSSD’s digesters. This approach will help protect critical equipment while creating a more dependable pathway for additional organics.
Jordan Damerel, General Manager of FSSD, echoed Selten’s sentiments.
The project is expected to demonstrate how organics processing can unlock more value from existing digesters while supporting landfill diversion, renewable energy production, and the reliable operation of essential wastewater infrastructure. For CCI BioEnergy, the agreement is a significant milestone in its growing work with wastewater agencies.
According to CCI BioEnergy, the company provides solutions for municipal wastewater treatment plants, anaerobic digestion facilities, and private-sector organizations, with a focus on feedstock optimization, contamination management, anaerobic digestion, plant performance, and end-product quality. The FSSD project will help showcase how organics processing can enhance the efficiency and sustainability of wastewater treatment operations.
The project is part of a broader initiative to integrate organic waste management with wastewater treatment, leveraging existing infrastructure to achieve environmental and economic benefits. By connecting organics processing with wastewater infrastructure, the project aims to create a more sustainable and efficient system for managing organic waste in the region.
