Who Needs Totus
Our technology is best suited for operations that produce organic ‘waste’ and require the resources of natural gas, electricity, carbon dioxide, liquid fertilizer and growth medium.
Commercial Growers
Horticulture
Whether you are a state-of-the-art greenhouse emulating the natural environment needing heat, nutrients and water to grow vegetables.
Or a field farmer growing hops and need energy to power your production facility, fuel for farm vehicles and fertilizer to replenish your soil.
Closing the loop and utilizing your internal supply chain is not only sustainable and good business practice its environmentally conscious.
Cannabis
The legalization of cannabis and resurgence of hemp production in North America has led to rapidly growing new industries.
With so many new producers emerging, various types of production facilities and limited data to support best practices, developing sustainable operations will be key to achieving business longevity.
Converting your organic waste into usable resources is socially responsible and operationally efficient.
Agriculture
From the dairy industry to poultry farming, animal waste management is an ongoing challenge.
Methane gas produced from animal excreta is 25 times worse than carbon dioxide as a greenhouse gas and has tremendous negative impacts on the environment.
Utilizing anaerobic digestion technology to capture this methane generates renewable energy, liquid fertilizer and grow medium for field crops and improves odor control.
Civic Institutions
Education
Colleges, Universities, College Districts, or University Systems all have the similar challenge of managing organic waste for a large student body.
Incorporating strategies that support sustainable materials management is a sure way to improve operational cost efficiency, school reputation and environmental performance.
Recovered resources can be used to offset building energy needs and grounds landscaping costs.
Municipalities
Villages, Towns, and small Cities are working to bring their residents high quality waste management services and support the growth of a low carbon economy.
To this point, contracting organics management to a third-party or internally managing an informal composting program has been the most cost-effective method of organics management. But no longer.
Recovering energy, nutrients, AND soil via anaerobic digestion reduces wastes and increases efficiency.
Counties
Working with cities and the state or province to deliver the solid and liquid waste services that citizens rely on is difficult because every city is different.
Centralized management and/or treatment infrastructure has been the modus operandi for counties over the last half century. However, this approach is capital intensive and reduces resiliency.
A decentralized network of anaerobic digesters easily scales to need and creates a system resilient to various types of shocks.
