Good afternoon,

Yesterday afternoon, the question of how much carbon dioxide does an Enviropure unit produce was asked. I’ve copied the information below from their website:

Description

EnviroPure is a food waste elimination system that is a self-contained unit that can be continually fed food waste and dispose the waste. The system is designed to solve the environmental, operations, and economic issues associated with the disposal of food waste. The unit keeps optimal temperatures and oxygen levels for aerobic decomposition to take place more quickly. This results in a complete elimination of food waste without odors, sludge build-up, and system clean out requirements.

As of 2014, there are four Enviropure units. They are located at LAR, PAR, SDRP/IKE, and Housing Food Stores.
