July 31, 2024 | Cambridge, ON / Commerce Township, MI | For immediate release – Lystek International (Lystek) achieved substantial completion at the Commerce Township Wastewater Treatment Plant (WWTP) in Michigan in spring 2024. Lystek’s patented thermal-chemical hydrolysis process, Lystek THP, was selected to transition the Township to a sustainable Class A Biosolids resource recovery program, eliminate landfill disposal, and reduce solids handling costs. This sustainable biosolids management solution will provide the Township with long-term cost-certainty while reducing the program’s carbon footprint.

The Commerce WWTP treats approximately two million gallons per day (MGD) of municipal wastewater and has a permitted capacity of 8.5 MGD. The facility services the majority of Commerce Township as well as portions of White Lake Township, the Village of Wolverine Lake, West Bloomfield Township, and City of Novi. The facility, including Lystek THP, is operated by the Oakland County Water Resource Commissioner’s office (WRC) operations team. The facility previously relied on landfill disposal for solids management. Disposal costs had been increasing substantially over the last decade which led the Township to question the viability of continuing with landfill disposal.
