EnviroPure Ozone Recirculation Option Makes Digester More Sustainable

0

TRAVELERS REST, S.C. — When commercial foodservice and plumbing product manufacturer T&S Brass and Bronze Works acquired the EnviroPure food digester system two years ago, the team knew the organic food disposal system was a good fit for their sustainability goals. Since then, the system has won a number of industry awards and found favour with a broad spectrum of foodservice operations.

Designed to eliminate the need to add fresh water during the organic food waste disposal system’s digestive process, EnviroPure’s new ozone recirculation option relies instead on water that is naturally extracted from food waste as it processes through the system. The system breaks down food waste in 24 hours through a combination of mechanical processing and aerobic decomposition. An all-natural, micronutrient additive accelerates the digestive process, ultimately turning the food waste into a safe grey water byproduct that meets, and frequently surpasses, municipal wastewater requirements. With the new ozone recirculation option, that grey water is infused with ozone, which acts as a cleansing agent. The purified water then recirculates in a bubbler tank until further needed. Any excess water is can be used for irrigation or other non-potable purposes.

“A typical foodservice operation could expect to save about 400 gallons of water a day using this ozone infusion option,” says Jim Slanina, president of EnviroPure. “To the best of our knowledge, no other process like it exists in the market, and we’re very excited about having an impact both on saving water and keeping food waste out of landfills. At a time when we’re beginning to realize water is not an unlimited resource, we think this will be a welcome innovation.”
