EPTC is an integral part of USU's Center of Excellence Program. The Center for Profitable Uses of Agricultural Byproducts intends to set a new trend in developing and commercializing profitable uses for agricultural production and processing byproducts.

Concurrent development of EPTC's Anaerobic Multi-cell Sequenced-batch Digester is ongoing at a nearby university hog farm, and at an early stage has performed beyond expectations, with quality methane outgassing for cogeneration of enough electrical power to run the whole system and more.

A second, updated Anaerobic Digester will be constructed in the near future at Caine Dairy in EPTC's first full-scale implementation of a complete Closed-loop Waste Management System.
