The Closed-loop Waste Management System is a process designed to address every aspect of the waste stream. Odors are controlled. All manure or food waste solids are processed to be extent-pathogen-free and to kill weed seeds while retaining the beneficial nutrients. The result is a stable composted material that can be handled, stored or moved as soil, no longer a toxic material that needs special handling. All liquid is processed for methane generation, filtered and clarified for reuse. Solids that settle out from the liquids are processed periodically in the Bioreactor. Electricity generated from the Powersystem is used locally with excess sold back to the utility grid. It's a "zero-discharge" system.

The major problem associated with manure management, until now, has been the use of "lagoons," an outdated practice used for centuries. Lagoon is nice word for a very large cesspool. Lagoons are the single biggest problem in waste management. The EPTC system eliminates lagoons. Eliminating the lagoon system eliminates odors, major toxic spills, overflow from flooding, leaching, leaky liners, and the inefficient use of land for the pit itself and required buffer acreage.
