Containment Solutions for America's Dairyland

Wisconsin is home to over 1.2 million dairy cows and the nation's largest cheese and food processing industry. These operations generate massive volumes of organic wastewater that require engineered containment and present ideal opportunities for biogas capture. EFI delivers proven solutions across the state.

Central & Northern Dairy Belt

The heart of Wisconsin's dairy industry stretches across the central and northern regions of the state, with thousands of operations ranging from family farms to large-scale CAFOs. EFI installs lagoon liners and covered lagoon digesters that manage manure effectively, capture methane for carbon credits, and help operators comply with WDNR regulations.

Fox Valley Food Processing

The Fox Valley and greater Green Bay region is a national hub for food processing, including cheese manufacturing, meat packing, and vegetable canning. These facilities generate high-strength organic wastewater that is ideal for anaerobic digestion. EFI provides liner systems and CLD technology for food processing wastewater lagoons throughout the corridor.

Great Lakes Environmental Compliance

Wisconsin's location in the Great Lakes basin means stringent environmental regulations to protect water quality. EFI's geosynthetic liner systems help agricultural and industrial operations meet WDNR discharge requirements, prevent groundwater contamination, and maintain compliance with Great Lakes Water Quality Agreement standards.

Cheese Processing Wastewater

Wisconsin produces more cheese than any other state, and the whey and process water from cheese manufacturing creates a high-BOD wastewater stream perfect for biogas capture. EFI's covered lagoon digesters turn cheese processing waste into a revenue source through methane capture and carbon credit generation.

What We Do in Wisconsin

Dairy Lagoon Liners

HDPE and LLDPE liner installation for dairy manure lagoons, milking parlor wastewater, and agricultural containment. Engineered for Wisconsin's 1.2 million+ dairy cow operations.

Covered Lagoon Digesters

Turnkey CLD systems for methane capture from dairy and food processing wastewater. Generates carbon credit revenue while eliminating odor and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Food Processing Wastewater

Geosynthetic liner systems for cheese plants, meat processing, canning operations, and food manufacturing wastewater lagoons across the Fox Valley and statewide.

Cap-and-Flare Systems

Methane destruction systems that generate carbon credits at zero cost to the waste generator. Ideal for Wisconsin's dairy operations and food processing facilities.

Floating Covers & Odor Control

Custom-fabricated floating covers for odor mitigation, evaporation reduction, and gas collection on dairy and food processing lagoons.

Lagoon Remediation

Relining and repair of aging dairy lagoon systems. Sludge management, dewatering, and new liner installation for legacy containment infrastructure across Wisconsin.

Case Study

Featured Project

Tomahawk, Wisconsin

EFI fabricated and installed Seaman 8130 XR-5 floating covers on four anaerobic basins at Packaging Corporation of America in Tomahawk. The work was completed in phases from May 2002 through January 2007.

The historical case study describes collecting biogas through a pipeline to the plant for use as alternative boiler fuel. The documented scope is floating covers, with separate dimensions recorded for each installation phase.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions About EFI in Wisconsin

Yes. Wisconsin is America's Dairyland with 1.2 million+ dairy cows, and EFI serves the state's dairy industry with lagoon liners, covered lagoon digesters, and biogas capture systems. We have experience with both large-scale and mid-size Wisconsin dairy operations.

Absolutely. Wisconsin's cheese processing industry generates high-BOD wastewater that requires specialized containment. EFI installs HDPE and LLDPE liner systems for cheese plant lagoons across the Fox Valley and statewide.

Yes. EFI has extensive cold-climate installation experience and uses insulated cover systems designed for Wisconsin winters. Our welding techniques and material selection account for freeze-thaw cycling common in northern climates.

Wisconsin dairy operations can generate carbon credits through methane destruction via EFI's cap-and-flare program at zero cost to the farm. Voluntary carbon markets and potential future CARB LCFS pathway eligibility make Wisconsin dairy methane increasingly valuable.

EFI can mobilize crews to Wisconsin within 48 hours from our Midwest operations network. We serve the entire Upper Midwest with the logistics infrastructure to handle projects from Green Bay to Madison and everywhere in between.
