Power Knot LFC Biodigester Revolutionizes Waste Management At Air Fayre

Thursday, May 9, 2024

Power Knot LLC, a top-tier supplier of onsite organic waste management solutions, has successfully swapped out a faulty Biohitech Eco-safe Digester with an LFC biodigester at Air Fayre.

Air Fayre, a prominent airline catering company operating with 12 airline partners and servicing over 4.7 million meals across 54,000 catered flights annually, places a strong emphasis on sustainability and operational efficiency. As the primary catering service provider at Los Angeles Airport (LAX), Air Fayre is committed to sustainable practices.

In September 2023, Air Fayre upgraded its waste management system by switching from the Biohitech Eco-safe Digester to the state-of-the-art Power Knot LFC biodigester. The decision to transition was driven by Air Fayre’s dissatisfaction with the performance and reliability of the previous waste management equipment provided by BioHitech. Frequent maintenance issues and operational flaws, such as problems with door gaskets and sensors, led to disruptions and inefficiencies in Air Fayre’s operations.

Adrian Weatherstone, the Facilities Manager of Air Fayre, emphasized the pivotal role of communication and service in selecting Power Knot. “The reason why we went with Power Knot was because of the communication and service. Any time we need spare parts or have questions, all we have to do is give them a call and it gets resolved.”

The adoption of the LFC biodigester marks a significant step forward in Air Fayre’s waste management strategy, in line with the company’s overarching objective of reducing environmental impact while improving operational efficiency.
