  • Commercial: Efficient lab hoods, exhaust systems and specialized lighting
  • Industrial/manufacturing: Modifications to improve melting, mixing, conveying and drying processes
  • Agricultural: Replacing land preparation operations with low- or no-till drill planting
  • Food: Efficient blanching, freezing, packaging and dehydrating systems
