The future of odor control for your manure storage structures

Thank you for your interest in the Bio-Cap Cover System!

BEI is very excited to present these new reports on the effectiveness of the Bio-Cap. This information is updated or completely new, offering more qualitative scientific evidence that the Bio-Cap will meet your needs for odor control for earthen manure storage. with Bio-Cap covers in 16 states and Canada covering more than six million square feet of surface area, endorsements and approvals are becoming more and more common.

We expect more updates in the near future. As of this printing, approval of the Bio-Cap in the state of Missouri is pending and expected. The National Pork Producers Council is also testing the Bio-Cap on three sites in Minnesota as part of the Odor Solutions Initiative. These results should be available in early 2001.
