TOAST is an internationally-recognized provider of waste water treatment systems. Recently patented, TOAST (Tertiary Oxygen Activated Sludge Treatment) is the world's most advanced waste water treatment system for use on all livestock liquid manure feedlots and meat packing plants. TOAST also provides municipal water and wastewater technologies from the U.S., based on proven installations and innovative thinking. The system treats livestock waste with anaerobic and aerobic microbes and converts it to a low-viscosiy effluent from which approximately 80% of the odor, and virtually all (99.7%) dangerous gases and vapors have been permanently removed. In 1994 the Agricultural Utilization Research Institute (AURI) funded a successful initial product assessment of the system. TOAST solves the social and health problems of livestock manure odor and protects the environment by controlling nutrient distribution to the land, air, ground water, rivers and streams. TOAST is fully automated for remote operations and has small space and low maintenance requirements. Livestock operations using TOAST will have reduced ventilatioin and heating requirements and will not need slotted floors. Field application is greatly simplified.

TOAST has a decontaminating effect with bacterial pathogenic agents (salmonella) and a disinfecting effect on viruses. Because the effluent from TOAST contains high quality protein without nitrates, it has the potential for refeed. With resistance and hostility to conventional livestock operations rising, TOAST offers farmers an environmentally attractive and socially accpetable solution to livestock waste. TOAST offers a 21st Century bridge from the best waste water treatment and chemical engineering to the agricultural industry. TOAST features the highest quality industrial equipment with a life expectancy of 20-30 years (equal to barn life). The effluent texture has a low viscosity and is easily drained. Unlike conventional methods, TOAST retains the nitrogen and phosphorus as solids in the effluent (over 50%), thus reducing ground water and air pollution.
