Eden Valley Poultry Inc. (EVP), located in Berwick, Nova Scotia, is a poultry processing plant that processes and markets chicken and turkey for Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island farmers. The company processes approximately 80,000 to 100,000 chickens four days per week and 7,000 to 21,000 turkeys one day per week. In this sector of activities which is currently under increasing pressure to improve wastewater treatment, EVP produces on average 1,000,000L of wastewater daily, while the cost of treating wastewater is increasing with more stringent environmental discharge requirements and rising power cost. Over the years, EVP has struggled with fulfilling these requirements with the existing wastewater treatment processes in their facility. This results in an increasingly high operational cost. The company is therefore seeking NSCC's support to address these issues by enabling a balance between reduced operating costs (enhanced energy efficiency) and environmentally appropriate treatment to achieve the required effluent quality criteria. This is important to maintain sustainability of the industry and can prove invaluable in many other cities and communities across Canada, where treatment of wastewater is either insufficient or non-existent.

伊甸谷家禽公司(EVP)位于新斯科舍省贝里克，是一家家禽加工厂，为新斯科舍省和爱德华王子岛的农民加工和销售鸡肉和火鸡。该公司每周四天加工约80,000至100,000只鸡，每周一天加工7,000至21,000只火鸡。在目前面临越来越大的改善废水处理压力的这一活动领域，EVP平均每天产生1,000,000升废水，同时随着更严格的环境排放要求和不断上升的电力成本，处理废水的成本正在增加。多年来，EVP一直在努力利用其设施中现有的废水处理工艺来满足这些要求。这导致运营成本越来越高。因此，该公司正在寻求NSCC的支持，以解决这些问题，方法是在降低运营成本(提高能源效率)和环境适宜的处理之间取得平衡，以达到所需的污水质量标准。这对维持该行业的可持续性很重要，在加拿大许多其他城市和社区可以被证明是无价的，这些城市和社区的废水处理要么不充分，要么根本不存在。
