Black & Veatch and Ostara Nutrient Recovery Technologies will design and build a new nutrient recovery system for the Metropolitan Water Reclamation District of Greater Chicago's (MWRD) Stickney Water Reclamation Plant in Cicero, Illinois. The facility will improve water quality in local rivers, lakes and streams and will also produce commercial fertilizer from recovered resources. Black & Veatch is providing design, procurement and construction services while Ostara will supply the nutrient recovery system, including equipment. Ostara will also provide operations and maintenance assistance once the project is completed. "With this new facility, the District is transforming a water challenge into a sustainable solution," said Phillip Abrary, Ostara president and CEO. "Removing nutrients from where they shouldn't be – in our waterways – and using them to create a new generation of slow-release fertilizers is the smart thing to do economically and the right thing to do environmentally." The new facility is scheduled for completion in 2015.
