Anuvia Plant Nutrients Zellwood, FloridaFertilizer production facility with capacity to manufacture over 200 tons/day of high-e� ciency, multinutrient, slow-release specialty commercial-grade fertilizer products. Feedstocks include municipal biosolids, food waste and digestate from anaerobic digester facilities; manures and algae could be accommodated.

Alliance Dairies Trenton, FloridaA 6,000-head dairy farm installed a DVO mixed plug � ow digester designed for a freestall barn � ush system in 2010 to reduce manure-related odors and generate power for the dairy operation. Separated solids are used for bedding, as well as soil amendments. Alliance Dairies was the � rst dairy in northern Florida to receive a permit from the Florida Department of Environmental Protection for its sustainable wastewater management practices.
