In this episode of Trash Talk, we’re hanging out at the Advanced Biogas Systems (ABS) plant in Hot Springs, NC. Steve Allman, ABS’ General Manager, and Eric Stuehrenberg, ABS’ Plant Manager, take us behind the scenes to show how ABS designs and builds the equipment that processes landfill gas for various end uses. They walk us through ABS’ journey from manufacturing equipment for power generation projects to renewable natural gas projects, sharing how the technology has evolved and improved to make treatment systems more effective, efficient, and long-lasting. Along the way, we hear about the company’s growth, the impact on the local community, and how doing everything under one roof—from design to controls—gives an advantage to ABS’ customers. It’s a story of innovation, resilience, and a whole lot of teamwork.
