Our Treatment Facilities

Biogénie operates two treatment facilities or Centres régionaux de valorisation de la biomasse (CRVB)  located in the village of Bury in Québec’s Eastern Townships region, and in the village of Saint-Henri-de-Lévis, near Québec City. Our company manages over 1 million metric tonnes of residual organic waste annually for various municipalities and the private sector. We process a wide variety of organic matter, used after treatment, by the farming community as fertilizer and organic lime-washing agents.

From the treated organic residual waste, we make composts and soil for horticulture. Some of these by-products are certified by the Bureau de normalisation du Québec (BNQ). Both of our sites are certified by the Ministère du Développement durable, de l’Environnement et des Parcs (MDDEP) to receive, store, condition and treat residual fertilizing matters.

Biogénie also uses a biodrying process and is able to convert boilers for the use of biomass as a fuel. We are also involved in composting, in the restoration of former mining sites and landfills as well as in dehydration. Our company sells several organic byproducts – compost soils, bulk soils, biomass and sludge – resulting from the following treatment processes:

• Municipal biosolids, pond and septic tank sludges,
• Green and food residues,
• Industrial sludges,
• Agroprocessing industry residuals,
• Pulp and paper mill sludges.

Bury Treatment Facility (CRVB)

The Bury Treatment Centre or Centre de compostage de Bury is located in the Environmental Sciences Industrial Park of the Regional Municipality of Haut-Saint-François, near Sherbrooke, Québec.

 

At this location, we process wood residues, manure, and green residue (leaves and grass cuttings). We also treat residues from the agri-food industry and sludges from pulp and paper mills, municipalities and industry. The technique used at this location is mainly static composting.

Saint-Henri-de-Lévis Facility (CRVB)

The St-Henri-de-Lévis Treatment Centre or Centre de compostage de Saint-Henri-de-Lévis is located on the south shore of Québec City, near Lévis. It is the largest facility of its kind in Canada and is also goes by the name Les Composts du Québec.

 

Much like its Bury counterpart, we use this treatment centre to process solid and liquid manure, green residues (leaves and grass cuttings), residues from the agri-food and pulp and paper industries as well as municipal sludges. The plant relies on various technologies including composting in clamp-silos with forced ventilation and static pile composting.
