Environmental Energy Company's processes are the most economical and cost effective means of recovering products from food processing waste while eliminating costly conventional waste treatment. Our process can be used to pre-treat waste prior to sewer system discharge or to treat waste prior to land application.

Pretreatment

Many food processors provide rudimentary waste treatment consisting of solids separation prior to discharge to municipal waste treatment facilities. They pay substantial fees to the municipal waste treatment facilities in addition to fees for the disposal of the solids removed. They receive few benefits from their waste products. We have demonstrated our AGF ClearCycle™ Process at a number of food processing plants for the recovery of energy, waste heat, inorganic nutrients, and a pasteurized organic fertilizer. Those demonstrations showed that the process was an economical process that paid for itself in a few years. The process is compact and can be installed at land-limited manufacturing sites. A high quality effluent is produced which substantially reduces municipal fees. The waste solids are converted to gas, significantly reducing the cost of solids disposal. The gas can be used for power generation, and process heat requirements.

Land Application

Many food processors provide waste treatment followed by land application of the treated waste. New TMDL requirements being implemented by the USEPA will require the treatment and removal of nutrients prior to discharge. Our AGF Processes can economically reclaim substantially all of the phosphorus and approximately 50% of the nitrogen in the waste stream prior to land application. The need for costly, energy consuming, conventional nutrient treatment is eliminated while meeting the EPA mandates.
