Cascade Energy gives Zirkle Fruit's facility a system overhaul that reduces costs by nearly $185,000 annually.
Zirkle Fruit had long wanted to upgrade and modernize its aging facility in Prosser, Washington. The facility featured a series of controlled atmosphere (CA) rooms that maintain precise conditions at all times – including finite oxygen and temperature control bands – to keep the company’s apples fresh, year-round. The CA rooms also managed the carbon dioxide emitted from harvested apples.
