On Friday, 29 September, Don Harris asked about commercial operations that have
successfully integrated water treatment with hydroponic plant production.
Archer Daniels Midland Company (ADM) operates a corn and soybean processing
plant in Decatur, IL, which uses hot waste water to heat a hydroponic
greenhouse. The greenhouse has been in operation since the 1970s and has
produced at various times, salad greens, herbs, and miniature roses. I
believe it is still in operation, although the information I have on it is
not current.
