F.X. Matt Brewery installs 30,000 pound stainless steel digester tank

A 30,000 pound stainless steel digester tank was lifted in the air and installed as part of the F.X. Matt Brewery's new anaerobic digester system Wednesday morning. The eco-friendly system will break down waste materials into methane and will be used to generate electricity and heat for the facility. The facility should be completed by the fall, officials said. "This is a very exciting project," said Nick Matt, Chairman and CEO of the F.X. Matt Brewery. The company will use the technology to clean the brewery's wastewater by about 80 to 90 percent. Electricity generated from the process will account for about 30 to 40 percent of the company's usage. Local officials like Mayor Robert Palmieri and Oneida County Executive Anthony Picente attended the event. "The Matts have been absolutely legendary in the City of Utica for decades," Palmieri said. "They're investing and they're loyal and passionate about this community."
