Swine Industry
Eliminate odor complaints, destroy methane 25x more potent than CO2, and ensure regulatory compliance — all at zero cost to your operation.
The Challenge
Swine operations face escalating environmental scrutiny. Open lagoons emit methane — a greenhouse gas 25 times more potent than CO2 — along with hydrogen sulfide and ammonia that cause persistent odor complaints from neighboring communities.
The EPA has significantly increased enforcement against large concentrated animal feeding operations (CAFOs). State-level regulations are becoming more stringent, with several states now requiring emission reporting or reduction plans for large swine operations.
Our Solution
EFI's cap-and-flare system seals the lagoon with a gas-tight geomembrane cover, captures all biogas emissions, and destroys them through enclosed flaring. The result: zero odor, zero unmitigated methane, full regulatory compliance.
The hermetically sealed cover contains 100% of lagoon surface emissions. No more hydrogen sulfide or ammonia reaching neighboring properties.
Enclosed flaring systems destroy captured methane at temperatures exceeding 1,400 degrees F, converting it to CO2 with 25x less climate impact.
Documented methane destruction satisfies EPA AgSTAR requirements, state emission mandates, and provides audit-ready compliance records.
EFI funds all capital expenditure, installation, and ongoing maintenance. The swine operator pays nothing and gains compliance + odor control.
Cloud-based monitoring with automated alerts for flare performance, gas flow, and system integrity. Full remote visibility for operators and regulators.
Typical installations complete in 4-8 weeks from mobilization. EFI's in-house fabrication means covers arrive ready to install with minimal site disruption.
Case Study
EFI installed a full cap-and-flare system at a large swine operation, covering multiple lagoons with gas-tight geomembrane systems. The project eliminated all odor complaints from neighboring properties and provided documented methane destruction for regulatory compliance.
