Plan calls for a third digester and larger sludge dewatering system

City of Kearney meeting · July 1, 2026

Summary

Consultants proposed adding a third digester to double digestion capacity and installing two rotary fan presses to increase dewatering capacity; the existing dewatering area would be repurposed for administration and lab space.

Matt told the meeting the plant currently lacks adequate solids treatment capacity and the plan adds a third digester and increases dewatering equipment. "This 3rd digester will double the capacity of the digestion," he said, and the plan would add two rotary fan presses to replace the smaller existing dewatering unit.

The current dewatering area would be repurposed for administrative, electrical and laboratory space with larger showers, restrooms and lockers for staff. The plan retains familiar technology styles to ease operation and maintenance while increasing on‑site handling and storage capacity for solids.
