On a quarterly basis the New York State Chapter will "spotlight" one New York State facility. Each spotlight feature will provide information, facility photos and contact information. This will provide fellow members with an opportunity to learn more about the various facilities throughout the state and to make new contacts. To have your facility featured contact Debra Smith at debsmith@co.broome.ny.us

The Oswego County Energy Recovery Facility


The Oswego County Energy Recovery Facility (ERF) is an integrated part of the comprehensive Solid Waste Management System of Oswego County. The Solid Waste System serves the County of Oswego with a population of approximately 120,000. The System consists of a Materials Recovery Facility, the Bristol Hill Sanitary Landfill, five Transfer Stations, multiple compost sites, a permanent Household Hazardous Waste Collection Facility and the Energy Recovery Facility.

The ERF began operations in December of 1985 and was upgraded in 1999 for the purpose of meeting newly implemented US EPA air emissions standards for existing waste to energy facilities[40 CFR 60 Subpart BBBB]. The ERF is a 200 ton per day modular facility and consists of four (4) 50 tpd incinerators, two heat recovery steam generators followed by two spray dry adsorption scrubbers and fabric filter baghouses.
