Features
  • The Closed-loop Waste Management System is designed to address every
    part of the waste stream... solid, liquid and gas --- a single source, multi-media
    pollution prevention system
  • Processing time is rapid -- two to three days
  • Overall system footprint is comparatively small
-
Operational Benefits
  • Zero discharge system
  • Odor control
  • Extent-pathogen free
  • Weed seeds are killed
  • Efficient water use
  • Waste handling is minimized
-
Economic Benefits
  • Ability to expand your operation on your existing land
  • No cost to farmer for removal of solids
  • Generation of ample electrical energy on-site from a renewable source
  • Some land may be able to be reclaimed and sold
  • Financing of complete product and service packages available
-
Environmental Ramifications
  • A stable, pasteurized, non-toxic, nutrient-rich, composted material that can
    be handled, stored, and moved as soil
  • Water is recycled for washing, flushing, or irrigation
  • Renewable energy cogeneration
  • Overall reduction of greenhouse gases
-
Considerations
Aerobic and anaerobic decay are among the Earth's oldest naturally-occurring processes for remediation of organic wastes. Both employ select microorganisms which secrete enzymes (protein catalysts) into the surrounding environment to break down the molecular bonds of these organic molecules into rudimentary substances which can be absorbed.

Such processes, however ancient, are still among those few natural-occurring processes that haven't been thoroughly understood and exploited to their fullest potential. Modern farms, with automated and updated systems for nearly every aspect of the process have largely ignored improvements in waste management. The industry is still operating at the cesspool or "outhouse level."

The recent environmental emphasis, spurred on by dysfunctional farm-waste "lagoons", nitrate overloading of farmlands, the ever-increasing health concerns for clean water, and the overwhelming need of developing countries to raise their standards of living, has dictated the necessity for reexamination of Nature's oldest composting technologies.

The employment of EPTC systems create a WIN-WIN-WIN-WIN situation:

  • FARMS & DAIRIES WIN
  • THE COMMUNITY WINS
  • THE GOVERNMENT WINS
  • THE ENVIRONMENT WINS
