ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATES Livestock managers are responsible for managing the odor, nuisance issues, and nutrients from their waste systems. The industry has experienced significant legal pressures about the disposition of waste, and it is becoming increasingly expensive to handle. EQMA is working on transforming Captive Animal Feed Operations (CAFOs) and selected other industrial wastes to fermentable sugars by enzymatic hydrolysis and distillation. The produced sugars and byproducts may then be used to generate a variety of products, with the most important of those for alternative fuel use.
