Water Systems for Neighborhoods and Businesses

Water - your secret business asset.  In fact, the rain that collects on your city’s roads, in your storm water systems, creeks, and waterways is ripe with potential for new transportation corridors that protect aquatic health and neighborhoods.  Collection system solutions have time and time again given businesses a competitive edge and paved the way for future growth in communities, be it through reduced energy footprint or the reuse of once-used water.  With decades of experience in the industry, we have the know-how to offer cost effective, reliable solutions that allow you to offer the community more unique services, respect waterway discharge limits, and create healthy places to live.

Buildings of the Future

Shaping cities means building communities that are more complex, more interesting, more livable.  Be it a new ground up structure, renovation, or expansion, we understand what great cities are made of and can be.  At the heart of developments of the future lies practices which preserve natural ecologies, create mixed-use communities with wellness in mind, and employ smart design principles.  With Americans spending 87% of their time indoors, it’s no wonder why we specialize in making each building a place that adds quality to our lives.  We consider the safety of materials and people in constructing custom solutions that shape the cities of the future.

Completing the Energy Cycle – No Waste Goes to Waste

Sustainable energy systems are models of how innovative technology can increase business potential.  Local landfill gas-to-energy facilities and biogas upgrading facilities stand on even ground with the green industry giants.  With over 75 renewable energy systems in over 31 states and over 235 MW of energy produced from biogas systems built by our skilled constructors, we support the international movement of waste management and renewable energy.  Universities, industries, businesses, and municipalities all have a unique part to play in changing the way we produce energy and how we protect the environment.  Closing the energy cycle means making full use of the (sometimes not so aromatic) resources that mitigate waste.

In the Consumer Packaged Goods (CPG) industry, companies need to be more competitive, and  more socially, financially, and environmentally conscious. The need to engineer better plant operations to maximize your assets and stay ahead of the competition is crucial. Symbiont works each day to implement the best processes in various manufacturing environments and keep our clients business objectives as our goal.

The food, beverage, and dairy industries utilize many processes to bring a variety of products to the marketplace, and every facility has its own unique engineering requirements. The common element for all food processors is the demand for exceptional quality. From sanitary process through production to distribution, there is a constant need to be efficient in all steps to meet your demand. Partner with us for your engineering needs, both inside and outside of your facility.

Private Partners in Public Service

Government agencies – at all levels from neighborhood to national – provide the services necessary for the efficient and sustainable growth of communities. Responsible use of the resources entrusted to them frequently means running lean. With a talented and flexible staff bringing a breadth of knowledge and experience, we provide the on-demand resources that allow agencies to meet peak demands and evolving needs, ensuring that Boards and Commissions, Departments, and Agencies can continue to provide the services that often go unnoticed – until they’re missed.

Bringing Inventive Products to our World

Growing businesses need the space to increase their production capacity so they can continue to offer unique products nationally and internationally. Whether through expansion or optimization, efficient ways of creating that space are the foundation of successful plant growth. Where lean operations have reduced in-house capacity, or increased regulations have outpaced it, our experts in planning, design, and construction ensure your worlds are working as they ought to and you are equipped to launch the next great era of success.

Symbiont works with manufacturing facilities on biogas, an alternative and renewable fuel. Anaerobic treatment of high strength industrial waste and municipal biosolids is a proven biological treatment process, which generates biogas.

Utilizing biogas is as a fuel in boilers is one of the many common applications for this fuel. Internal combustion engines, micro turbines, and fuel cells are designed to transform biogas into power. Biogas can also be compressed for use in vehicle fuel as CNG. Symbiont can formulate an impressive engineering plan to use this innovative method to your plant.

• Improve digester methane production
• Increase energy recovery/reduced operating costs
• Streamline biosolids system operation
• Generate revenue from local high strength waste sources
• Achieve sustainable goals
• Apply “Green” funding and tax incentives

For producers of organic matter, closing the loop in the energy system offers a multitude of solutions.  Our engineers know that converting the energy stored in organic matter into clean, usable energy is a matter of ingenuity and vision.  Farms and industries, now, can play a part in powering homes and businesses.

 
Through smart design principles and specialized engineering, we execute large scale environmental solutions for the communities that need them most.  At Symbiont, we've installed biogas systems that upgraded over 17,000 scfm of biogas which has been sold as renewable natural gas (RNG) to local utilities.  We are proud of the unique part we play in changing the way energy is produced.
