London’s biogas facility is moving forward with a $70M expansion, backed by $18.7M in federal funding, to significantly scale its renewable natural gas production. The project will increase processing capacity, reduce landfill emissions, and strengthen the region’s circular‑economy infrastructure. It’s a strong example of how targeted public investment can accelerate private‑sector innovation and advance long‑term sustainability goals.

"This facility, the London digester, is the largest food waste anaerobic digestion facility in Canada."

Growth Requires More Than New Houses and New Businesses.

Lady Lake, Florida is investing in what often goes unnoticed: the infrastructure needed to support future growth.

The town has received $1 million in state funding to help expand its Water Reclamation Facility. The project will increase treatment capacity to 3 million gallons per day, add advanced wastewater treatment, and expand reclaimed-water capabilities.

Construction isn't expected to begin until 2027, but the planning is happening now.

That's an important lesson for any growing community:

You can't wait for infrastructure to become a problem before you start investing in it.

Water, wastewater, energy and other essential systems may not get the attention that new development does—but they're what make that development possible in the first place.

Lady Lake secured $1 million for wastewater facility improvements ahead of planned construction starting in July 2027.

How does a dewatering tube actually work?

The process is surprisingly straightforward:

💧 1. Pump – Sludge is pumped from a pond or lagoon, with polymer added to condition the material.

🔄 2. Condition – The mixture passes through a series of curves that promote flocculation, creating larger, more stable particles.

🧺 3. Dewater – The conditioned slurry enters the geotextile tube. Solids are retained while water passes through the fabric.

♻️ 4. Consolidate – As the material dewaters, the remaining solids form a dry cake that can be transported or managed on-site.

The result? Less sludge volume, lower transportation and disposal costs, and a simpler approach to solids management.

That’s the basic process behind IEC’s Dewatering Tubes—designed for municipal, industrial, dredging and environmental applications.

What if wastewater could become an energy source?

Fond du Lac, Wisconsin is investing $32 million to upgrade its wastewater treatment facility—and the project is doing much more than modernizing an aging plant.

The upgrades will include a biosolids dryer and a system that converts biogas from human waste into renewable natural gas that can be injected directly into the pipeline.

Even the remaining biosolids will be processed into fertilizer pellets rather than being sent to a landfill when they can't be applied to farmland.

Perhaps the bigger lesson is this:

Waste isn't always the end of the process. Sometimes, it's the beginning of the next one.

As communities look for more sustainable—and economically useful—ways to manage resources, projects like this show how infrastructure can turn an environmental challenge into an opportunity.

At Fond du Lac's wastewater treatment facility, a new biosolids dryer and renewable natural gas system are brining tens of millions of dollars in advancements to the city and community at large.

What if you could conserve water without changing the way your reservoir operates?

Evaporation can represent a significant source of water loss—particularly in dry, arid and resource-sensitive areas.

IEC’s floating evaporation mitigation covers are designed to reduce that loss by blocking sunlight and wind across the water’s surface. At the same time, the floating system adapts to changing water levels and can help protect water quality by limiting algae growth and debris.

The result? More water conserved, better water protection and potentially lower operating costs.

For reservoirs, evaporation ponds, agricultural holding ponds and other water-storage applications, sometimes the simplest solution is to cover the problem.

Sometimes the most important step is simply getting the facts.

New Jersey’s DEP is moving forward with additional soil, groundwater and surface-water testing around the former Keyport landfill, seeking to determine whether contaminants are present and whether they are migrating beyond the site.

For a community that has raised serious concerns for years, comprehensive, independent testing—and transparency about the results—matters.

The data should ultimately help answer the most important question: Is there a pathway for human exposure, and if so, what needs to be done about it? https://bit.ly/4xYYsdd

"We get a lot of questions about baffle systems, so we put together some of the most frequently asked questions—including:

• What do baffles actually do?
• How do they improve treatment efficiency?
• What materials are available?
• Can they be used in cold climates?
• What about reservoirs and large-scale applications?
• Do they require regular maintenance?
• Can baffles be custom-sized?

The short answer to that last one? Yes. Every treatment system is different, and baffle design should be based on the basin configuration, flow conditions and specific application.

If you're considering baffles for a water or wastewater project, our FAQ is a great place to start.

IEC offers many types of baffle including water baffles, floating baffles, wastewater baffles, hydraulic baffles and clearwell baffles. Call to learn more.

"The bioeconomy is about much more than biogas.

From turning agricultural and food waste into renewable energy and fertiliser to creating bio-based proteins, chemicals and materials, the opportunity is to turn biological resources into new economic value while reducing our reliance on fossil resources.

The technology is advancing. The bigger challenge is scaling it into commercially viable businesses.
