A fan is configured on the airflow component and a filter is positioned at an output port of the airflow component. A bucket receptacle is configured on the gearbox. The fan and the filter are configured adjacent to an upper portion of the bucket receptacle. A casing has a lower rim complimentary to a base rim. The casing has an interior volume complimentary to a fan module and an interior volume complimentary to an air filter module. A control switch and lid latch are configured in the casing and next to each other. A lid is hinged to the casing such that air flows from a bucket through the lid to the fan and back from the filter to the lid and out an exhaust vent in the lid.

Methods, systems, and apparatuses for anaerobic digestion of waste fibrous material and the recovery of nutrients are provided. Methods, systems, and apparatuses disclosed herein provide mechanisms to release dissolved gases from anaerobic digester effluent. Methods, systems and apparatuses disclosed herein can recover one or more nutrients from anaerobic digested effluent using a range of temperatures, aeration rates, aeration times, pH ranges, and settling times.

A fertilizer derived from an organic source and a method of making are provided. The fertilizer of the present invention advantageously has a nitrogen content greater than 4%. The method of making the fertilizer also produces potable water.

A system and method for commercial production of aqueous Sargassum seaweed extract concentrate having arsenic level of around 1.32-15 mg/l; cadmium level of around 0.005-5 mg/l; lead level of around 0.2-12 mg/l; mercury level of around 0.00002-2 mg/l; and pH of around 7.4-9 is disclosed. The resulting seaweed extract concentrate can be used in plant and soil amendments, rooting hormones, other organic plant and soil amendments, organic fertilizers, adjuvants for use with organic pesticides, organic fungicides, in combinations of organic pesticides, with fungicides, and as fertilizers for agricultural, commercial and domestic use. The resulting seaweed extract concentrate can also be used to regulate plant growth, or as a plant nutrient. The method is believed to be able to prepare an extract concentrate from any high protein biomass, including Sargassum, water hyacinth or other seaweed.

The invention relates to a coated granular fertilizer, preferably wherein granules are sulfate-based or phosphate-based. When sulfate based granules, as in ammonium sulfate, the coating substance is an inorganic salt of alkaline earth elements, preferably calcium, such that when applied to the surface of fertilizers, forms calcium sulfate, preferably a calcium sulfate-dihydrate, as a protective coating. For a reactive coating of a thiosulfate, free sulfuric acid present on the granule reacts to provide an elemental sulfur coating. For ammonium phosphate-based granules, coatings may comprise compounds of Ca.sup.++, Al.sup.+++ and/or Fe.sup.+++ salts thereby forming a calcium, an aluminum, an iron, or mixed cation phosphate protective coating. Thiosulfate is also effective with phosphate based granules which are manufactured with sulfuric acid. Granules coated according to the disclosure have advantageous properties as the coating can be applied in a specified and sparing manner due to its tendency to adhere to surfaces during the reaction. Coated fertilizer granules of the disclosure are also advantageous in that, with regard to the applied amount of coating, they provide increased resistance to dusting in long term warehouse storage, to moisture uptake and to oxidative heating. Coating components also add nutrients to plants that can provide nutrients over a longer period of time such as a slow-release characteristic.

A concentrated aqueous suspension of microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) comprising salts for plant nutrition, the concentrated aqueous suspension comprises microfibrillated linear polymers of D-glucose molecules homogenized through a fibrillation process (cellulose microfibers), calcium ions, sulfate ions and other substances for plant nutrition, being the concentration of calcium ions and sulfate ions in excess of the concentration corresponding to the solubility of calcium sulfate in water and being the proportion of microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) within a range of 1% and 99% w/w of the suspension.

Disclosed herein is a process, comprising: combining one or more additives with a feedstock to obtain a first mixture, the feedstock comprising a fibrous material and water, the fibrous material comprising lignin, cellulose, and hemicellulose; and conditioning the first mixture to obtain a liquid product and a dry pulp product. Also disclosed herein are condition processes and machines for use with the same. Also disclosed herein are liquid products, dry pulp products, and fibrous pellets made by the disclosed processes, and methods of using the same.

An organic fertilizer with one or more natural ingredients is provided. The organic fertilizer includes molasses to provide additional nutrients to the soil that are readily available for plant intake such as providing sugars to increase microorganism activity. An aromatic ingredient is provided to mask the unwanted odors of other fertilizer components.
