HighSolidsAnaerobicDigestionFacility

Since I offer refer to what Lorne Gunter opines in the Edmonton Sun I thought I'd begin naming (Gunteromments) and numbering (#..) his comments so here we go with GUNTER-OMMENTS #1. A couple of days ago I posted a report on Global News about the High Solids Anaerobic Digestion Facility (HSADF) and introduced it under the title GIGO.

GUNTER-OMMENTS #1 is about the High Solids Anaerobic Digestion Facility (HSADF) and the dilemma the inadequate (HSADF) presents to the City.

In 2018, the High Solids Anaerobic Digestion Facility (HSADF) which is the part of Edmonton's Waste Management Centre was built to process organics. At the time it was built and opened the HSADF cost taxpayers about $45 million. A special report presented to the city’s utility committee on Tuesday found the HSADF facility is not financially or operationally viable and other options must be considered.

Years ago someone coined the term GIGO which is an acronym that stands for Garbage In = Garbage Out. Tuesday's report to the city’s utility committee on the High Solids Anaerobic Digestion Facility (HSADF) which the part of the acronym akin to Garbage In. Tim Cartmell, who chairs the utility committee expressed his frustration with the lack of information on net-present value number, capital costs number, operating costs and analysis on the system. In short, it is the part of the acronym akin to Garbage Out.
