Fort Hunter Liggett

FastOx System Installed at U.S. Army Garrison Fort Hunter Liggett in California.

The U.S. Army and Department of Defense are committed to eliminating their need for on-site waste management. The Base wanted to significantly lower risk, cost and their carbon footprint related to the transporting and disposal of trash produced at the training facility.

The FastOx gasification system on site has been designed to convert post-recycled, municipal solid waste generated on the garrison into electricity and fuels to help the military achieve its energy security and zero-waste goals. The Fort Hunter Liggett project sets a new mile marker on the US Army’s path to zero waste.
