As Veterans Day approaches, the Transportation and Properties Division of the City of Linden has Illuminated City Hall, The John T. Gregorio Center and the Linden Multi-Purpose center in green lighting as part of the Operation Green Light Initiative. Lighting the buildings in green lets our Veterans know that they are seen, appreciated and supported. More information on Operation Green Light can be found here.
Aries Clean Technologies, a leader in biosolids gasification, announced that its facility in Linden, New Jersey, has demonstrated extended stable operations. Rather than the traditional landfill or incineration approach to disposing of wastewater sludge, Aries’ fluidized bed gasification captures the energy in the biosolids to power the plant’s drying process. This circular method reduces local pollution, improves the region’s carbon footprint, and creates cleaner communities across the metropolitan New York and New Jersey area. Watch this video to hear from Mayor Derek Armstead and from Aries personnel about this critical project, and how this and similar efforts are helping to save Planet Earth.
