California's Biogas & Containment Leader
California is the largest dairy state in the US and the epicenter of covered lagoon digester deployment. EFI's California hub provides local fabrication, rapid mobilization, and deep knowledge of state-specific regulations including CARB, LCFS, and regional air quality management districts.
Central Valley Dairy
The Central Valley is home to more than 1.7 million dairy cows, producing enormous quantities of manure-derived methane. EFI has installed hundreds of CLD systems across Tulare, Kings, Kern, Fresno, and Merced counties, working closely with CalBio and individual dairy operators to capture methane and generate carbon credit revenue under California's LCFS program.
Food Processing
California's food processing industry generates significant organic wastewater that is ideal for anaerobic digestion. EFI has installed CLD systems for major processors including SunMaid Growers in Kingsburg, capturing biogas from raisin processing wastewater and reducing treatment costs while generating renewable energy.
Water Infrastructure
In a state where water is the most precious resource, geosynthetic liners protect every drop. EFI installs reservoir liners, irrigation canal liners, and water storage systems throughout California, helping agricultural operations and municipalities manage water resources efficiently.
CARB Compliance
California's regulatory environment is the most stringent in the nation. EFI's engineering team has deep experience with California Air Resources Board requirements, LCFS pathway certification, regional AQMD permitting, and dairy CEQA compliance. We handle the regulatory complexity so operators can focus on their business.
Local Installation Crews
Since the 2026 merger, EC Applications' California team adds in-state installation capacity for landfill, mining, water, and wastewater lining projects. ECA holds CSLB license #894068 for California installation work, and its Anaheim office puts crews close to Southern California sites, complementing EFI's Central Valley dairy and biogas work.

What We Do in California
Covered Lagoon Digesters
Design, fabrication, and installation of CLD systems for dairy and food processing operations. Optimized for California's warm climate, which maximizes biogas production year-round.
Agricultural Lagoon Liners
HDPE and LLDPE liner installation for manure lagoons, tailwater ponds, irrigation reservoirs, and agricultural containment across the Central Valley.
Water Retention & Reservoir Liners
Geosynthetic liner systems for water storage, stormwater management, and reservoir containment. Critical infrastructure for California's water-conscious agriculture sector.
Floating Covers & Odor Control
Custom-fabricated floating covers for odor mitigation, evaporation reduction, and algae prevention on wastewater and agricultural ponds.
O2 Injection & Gas Treatment
Proprietary micro-aeration systems for H2S removal in dairy and food processing biogas systems, eliminating costly chemical scrubber media.
Cap-and-Flare Systems
Turnkey methane destruction systems that generate carbon credits under LCFS and voluntary markets. Zero cost to the dairy operator under EFI's revenue-share model.
Featured Project
SunMaid Growers, Kingsburg CA
EFI installed a covered lagoon digester system for SunMaid Growers' raisin processing facility in Kingsburg, California. The system captures biogas from high-strength food processing wastewater, reducing GHG emissions and wastewater treatment costs simultaneously.
The project demonstrates the versatility of CLD technology beyond dairy -- any organic wastewater lagoon can be a biogas capture opportunity. SunMaid's system has operated continuously since installation, with EFI providing ongoing maintenance and monitoring.
