Centrisys/CNP, based in Kenosha, Wisconsin, announced the completion of a 34,000-square-foot building expansion, including an upgrade of its balancing equipment with a centrifuge balancing bunker in the interior of the building. A company committee was formed to design and build the balancing bunker space and determine what equipment would work best.

Cranes are installed overhead to place parts and components in the balancing cradles.
The company also announced that it has been recognized by Frost & Sullivan with the 2019 North American Product Leadership Award for its PONDUS thermal hydrolysis process. With this product, Centrisys/CNP allows for the industry to not only accelerate the sustainability of anaerobic digestion, but also to enhance thermal hydrolysis process. PONDUS originated in Germany and is currently used in six installations in Europe and one in China. Centrisys/CNP introduced PONDUS in North America through an agreement in 2015.
