An enhanced biofertilizer production implementation may comprise iteratively drying, curing and turning manure composting in a windrow lane until at least one predetermined criteria is satisfied to produce unamended compost, identifying and isolating a biologically active microorganism in the unamended compost, amplifying the isolated microorganism, adding the amplified isolated microorganism to the unamended compost to produce inoculated compost and mixing the inoculated compost with biosolids or other fertilizer ingredients with biosolids to impregnate and produce enhanced biofertilizer.

Improvements in fertilizer is disclosed. The fertilizer is made by processing fish or other aquatic animal by-products to utilize parts of a fish that are normally discarded. The discarded part of a fish such as the head, fins, tail and bones. These components are typically tossed into the ocean where they decompose or are scavenged by other sea creatures. The by-products are separated based upon the mineral strength of the fertilizer that will be produced from the by-products. Different parts of fish and ocean material have different nutritional and decomposing properties. The separation of the components such as the head from the fins/tail, from the blood and ocean products. The extraction of the minerals provides the essential nutritional value for the fertilizer. The minerals and nutrients are used to enhance growth to plants or soil to increase the production of flowering, fruits, vegetables and growth.

A process for production of a pelleted feather meal and soybean meal based organic fertilizer includes combining feather meal and soybean meal to create a combination of feather meal and soybean meal and processing the combination of feather meal and soybean meal into pellets. In one embodiment, the pelleted feather meal and soybean meal based organic fertilizer includes meat and bone meal.

The present invention falls into the context of green chemistry and generically relates to a fertilizing and phytoprotective formulation and, in particular embodiment, to a film forming formulation that induces resistance to plants. The respective formulation, when applied to plants and/or fruits, results in the formation of a film on the surface of the material, which has a characteristic of photoprotection against UV-B and UV-C radiations, resistance kept in water, even after high hygroscopicity, greater stability at high ambient temperatures, formation of desired porosity and surface homogeneity.

A soil amendment for use in an organic system includes a protein ingredient and a binder binding with the protein ingredient to form a pellet. The protein ingredient is at least one of a plant-based protein and an animal-based protein. The binder is a grain processing by-product.

An organic fertilization method is provided using a betaine based organic fertilizer product. The betaine based organic fertilizer product is created by optionally heating, optionally filtering, and optionally cooling betaine. The betaine based organic fertilizer product is applied to agricultural vegetation in one of multiple forms and by one of multiple methods.

A novel method of reducing the melting point of a peptide-based biopolymer using a nitrogen-containing compound as a plasticizer is provided. The peptide-based biopolymer can be keratin or silk. The nitrogen-containing compound can be one or more amino acids or other nitrogen-containing compounds (except urea), all of which have a melting temperature above approximately 133 C., the decomposition temperature of urea. Pellets made using this novel process can be used as animal feed and soil amendments (fertilizer) to increase the adsorption of amino acids in the animal or in the soil, respectively.

A hydrothermal conversion process includes a mixing step wherein an aqueous slurry of a solid feedstock material with a steam stream to produce a reaction mixture having a temperature of at least 160 C. and which is at a pressure sufficient to keep water as a subcooled liquid. The process is fast and effective, requires only simple equipment and is highly energy-efficient. The process is also readily scalable, can be operated continuously or semi-continuously and can be tailored to produce carbonized solids or liquefaction products, all of which typically have increased economic value compared with the starting materials.

The process for producing organic molecules from fermentable biomass includes a step of anaerobic fermentation (5) producing volatile fatty acids (6), these precursors being transformed into final organic molecules by non-fermentation means. It also includes at least the following steps: a) extracting (9) at least one portion of the volatile fatty acids from the fermentation medium in such a way that the production of fermentation metabolites by the microorganisms (M) is not affected, and introducing a portion of the liquid phase (11) containing microorganisms from the extraction (9), b) synthesizing (13) organic molecules from the fermentation metabolites or from the volatile fatty acids extracted in step a),-c) continuing steps a) to b) until the final molecules are obtained, in terms of amount and quality. The invention also relates to an installation for implementing the process.
