What Our Clients Say:

I just wanted to thank you and Kennedy Jenks for your help on our recent Food Waste Codigestion Bench scale study. I understand Food Waste is part of the advanced digestion evaluation that OCSD-Planning Division is overseeing. The project was a great success for OCSD. Kennedy Jenks brought new ideas to the table and thought beyond enhanced gas production through co-digestion. The holistic approach proposed by Kennedy Jenks helped understand the effect of food waste addition not only on gas production but also on digester stability, odor, dewatering and beyond to help OCSD take informed decision. Sometimes more (as in more food waste addition) is not better, and Kennedy Jenks helped us identify the optimum range of food waste addition to obtain best overall benefit to OCSD. The project was completed on schedule and on budget. We are very pleased with the value and quality of the services provided by the Kennedy Jenks team, led by project manager Ganesh Rajagopalan.
