GRRO COMPLETES COMMISSIONING OF MOBILE DRYING SYSTEM FOR THE CITY OF LOGAN, QUEENSLAND, AUSTRALIA


Eldora, Iowa- August 24, 2006: Global Resource Recovery Organization, Inc. (GRRO) is pleased to announce that it has completed the commissioning and training of the first Tempest Drying System shipped to Australia. 

            Logan Tempest 

This mobile Tempest Unit will be used by the City of Logan to demonstrate the economics / feasibility of an onsite, compact biosolids drying plant which can produce a reduced volume and weight, pasteurized, granular, free flowing product at the point of traditional dewatered cake discharge.  The use of the Tempest product would eliminate the need for extensive onsite storage prior to stabilization by further processing, and thereby eliminate issues associated with generation of odors from stockpiled biosolids. It is also expected that the drying and granulisation approach will dramatically reduce the difficulty of handling biosolids through being able to use conventional soil handling equipment and techniques.

This mobile system will be used for the next 9 months to determine the final drying needs for the City of Logan.  At that time it is expected that the City will move to next phase of this program which is to install multiple stationary systems as shown below:
