Monterey, CA, Aug. 15, 2018 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- August 15, 2018 – Monterey, CA – For Immediate Release | On August 9, 2018 at the 63rd Annual CASA Conference in Monterey, California, Lystek International (Lystek) and the Fairfield-Suisun Sewer District (FSSD) were honored by the California Association of Sanitation Agencies (CASA) with the award for Excellence in Innovation and Sustainability.  The award was given in recognition of the successful, ongoing operation of the 150,000 ton, Lystek OMRC (Organic Material Recover Center), a Public-Private partnership originally commissioned in August of 2016 at the Fairfield-Suisun Sewer District in Fairfield, California. Since 1996, CASA has showcased its members and their remarkable efforts to help create a clean and sustainable environment for California. Lystek and FSSD were selected to receive this prestigious award, which recognizes innovative approaches to implementing an existing technology or the development of new, cutting-edge technology utilized in wastewater collection, treatment, wastewater and biosolids recycling and/or renewable energy production. The CASA awards committee is made up of managers from CASA member agencies throughout California. Lystek is establishing itself as a market leader in executing unique, practical partnerships with significant, measurable benefits. The state-of-the-art, OMRC-FSSD is proof of this. The facility opened with 14,000 tons of volume per year from the FSSD and now provides services to numerous Bay Area agencies, including the cities of San Francisco, Santa Rosa, Petaluma, Benecia, and many others.   “We are extremely honored to be recognized by CASA for our efforts in Innovation and Sustainability,” said Kurt Meyer, President of Lystek. “We are fully committed to pushing new ideas forward while delivering real solutions for resource recovery that are innovative, but also fiscally and environmentally responsible.” This latest award builds on the success and momentum for Lystek in the USA and it comes on the heels of the Governor’s Environmental and Economic Leadership (GEELA) Award for 2017, which was presented to the company at a special award ceremony held at the California Environmental Protection Agency (CalEPA) headquarters in Sacramento, California earlier this year. That honor was presented to the company in recognition of its market-leading technical solutions, customer satisfaction and numerous achievements in the sustainable management of biosolids and organics. In that case, the Fairfield project was cited as a leading example in the category of Sustainable Practices, Communities or Facilities. “At Lystek, it is our firm belief that we can, and must, develop practical and proven solutions for organics management,” adds James Dunbar, General Manager of the OMRC-FSSD.  “We are very proud to be recognized by our peers at CASA as part of the rapidly evolving clean tech/green tech movement.” About Lystek Lystek International is a leading provider of Thermal Hydrolysis solutions for the sustainable management of biosolids and organics.
