Brief

The Surrey Biofuel Facility is a part of the City of Surrey’s closed loop waste to energy system. It converts the City’s organic waste into renewable natural gas (RNG) through anaerobic digestion.

APA worked with the City of Surrey and its stakeholders to develop exhibits for the Education Centre at the facility. Highly interactive exhibits focus on engaging students in the science behind each step in the waste-to-energy process, as well as what their role is in this closed loop system.

Students meet the hard-working microbes up close, step into a digital Anaerobic Digestion tunnel, try their hand at upgrading biogas into RNG and test the facility’s four odor abatement treatments that ensure stinky smells are eliminated. The exhibits are complemented by a tour of the facility itself.

Oral bacteria, SEM

Coloured scanning electron micrograph (SEM) of mixed oral bacteria. The mouth contains a large number of bacteria, most of which are harmless or even beneficial. However, some bacteria can cause throat infections or cause the formation of plaque deposits on the teeth, which may lead to decay. Magnification: x10000 at 10cm wide.
