LT Boardman OR: Port of Morrow Wastewater Lagoons
Wastewater-to-Baseload Power & Municipal Waterworks Plant
Phase 1: 300 MW / Phase 2: 500 MW / Phase 3: 600 MW
City of Boardman, at The Port of Morrow in Morrow County, Oregon USA
​
A multi-phase project of which the first 300 MW housing has been constructed on site. Shown below are designs for the plant's build-out.
PLANT CONSTRUCTION SITE PHOTOS
Located adjacent to The Port of Morrow, this project will be the first truly self-sustained regenerative power plant. It is a completely renewable system to convert waste into municipal water and energy. The core structure has been constructed as seen in the photos at left.
Construction began in early 2020, and currently on-standby pending federal, state and local dynamics. In 2019, the last coal-fired power plant in the state of Oregon was demolished, creating an urgent need for this new Langenburg baseload power plant.

Municipal water, LT UltraFuel™, baseload grid power, & oxygen water.
The liquid waste intake capacity target is 6-10 million gallons per day. Over 95% of the water content is separated from the intake stream, then treated and purified as municipal tap supply water. All remaining component byproducts from the intake are converted to non-carbon fuel used to operate an emission-free Langenburg-proprietary closed-cycle regenerative turbine. Each of the turbines are connected to Langenburg-proprietary regenerative quantum-electrodynamic power generators collectively operating at 500 MW baseload capacity, with standby excess of 50-100 MW of peak capacity. A major fraction of the plant’s capacity is also available for load-balancing. The power will be supplied local industrial users including food production and online web service farms, as well as electrical power supply for the consumer grid.
PLANT ENTRANCE GATES BUILT BY LANGENBURG
As shown in the 3D model of the final plant build-out, two sets of heavy-duty entrance gates have been custom built by Langenburg.
The below 3D-ArchViz computer model shows the piping connection between the wastewater lagoon's pump-house, and the Langenburg waste-to-energy facility. 100% of the wastewater is converted to potable water and electrical grid power. The Langenburg conversion function replaces a conventional wastewater treatment plant. There is no temporal or chemical pre-treatment requirements for the wastewater to be converted in the Langenburg plant.

Landfill / Mixed Solid Waste Recycling / Beverage Wastewater Recycling / Ethanol Distillery
A multi-phase project operating since 2019
Show below-right, are the holding tanks in which the collected/mixed beverage wastewater is pre-treated by adding organisms to facilitate fermentation. The facility has been using a distillery to take the volatile ethanol for collection, processing and sale to the petrochemical industry as a gasoline additive.
The remaining liquid after fermentation, is routed into the Langenburg wastewater-to-energy system, where the pure water is separated from this intake. The remaining concentrate of dissolved solids are converted to non-carbon synthetic fuel that replaces the need to use Diesel, propane or natural gas to operate the ethanol distillery.
The below-left, is the Langenburg system housed in a truck box, which is currently installed and connected to the LT Georgia project at Synergy Solutions of Crisp County – a recycling facility that includes the processing of wastewater sourced from the beverage industry.
Shown below, shows the ethanol distillers that is operated using the synthesized non-carbon LT UltraFuel™ – representing a free source of heat, that replaces the former usage of Diesel, natural gas and propane.
Shown below, are the transparent view-ports that reveal fluid movement and stages of processing until the fermented mixed-beverage intake is converted to synthetic non-carbon LT UltraFuel™, and pure drinking-grade water.
Shown below, is a schematic flow diagram showing inputs, outputs and processing stages. In the upper-right corner, the only intake presented is mixed beverage wastewater that has been fermented in large holding tanks.
Langenburg phase 1 retrofits
SEPARATE WATER FROM LIQUID INTAKE
In phase-1, Langenburg system components are utilized to separate the pure-water component from re-brewed beverage waste for production of bottling-grade drinking water. The Synergy facility collects expired and contaminated beverages, crushes the containers and recycles the packaging. Volatile ethanol is heat-distilled from the heavier fraction of the re-brew before processing by Langenburg system components.
Langenburg phase 2 retrofits
CONVERT RESIDUAL WASTE CONCENTRATES TO FUEL
Phase-2 implements the Langenburg Core Tech Solution™ to produce non-carbon fuel by converting residual concentrates leftover after from the water separation process. Langenburg proprietary fuel replaces Diesel as the heat source used by boilers, providing the heat source for a value-added distillation process without pollutive emissions. Because the fuel is produced on-site, fuel delivery cost is eliminated. Because the fuel is produced exclusively from waste, former use and cost of Diesel becomes obsolete. Langenburg upgrades will optimize the business model, while extending performance
and capacity far beyond any conventional process.
Langenburg phase 3 retrofits
USE SYNTHESIZED FUEL TO PRODUCE HEAT FOR STEAM-POWER PRODUCTION
The final phase-3 involves use of the excess boiler steam from the distillation process to drive a steam-turbine for power generation. The power unit comprises a conventional steam-turbine and Langenburg-proprietary quantum-electrodynamic generator. Steam output from the boilers is extended by using Langenburg-proprietary nozzles and Langenburg-proprietary non-carbon fuel. Generator output is converted to standard 60Hz alternating current by use of a Langenburg-proprietary AC Converter. The facility is positioned to transmit 30-50 MW of baseload power to a substation located 3/4-mile away, for transmission onto the consumer power grid.
