Integrated waste conversion system and method
An entirely water-based, energy self-sufficient, integrated in-line waste management system is provided for comprehensive conversion of all organic fractions of municipal and wider community waste to fuels suitable for use in transportation, with all solid residues converted to high nutrition compost. The system is based on a combination of pre-treatment, involving alkaline hydrolysis and saponification; three-way separation of the pre-treated waste into different streams that are each directed to suitable further processing including fuel production; which includes biodiesel generation in a continuous-flow catalytic esterification unit, and anaerobic digestion to produce methane or other small molecule biofuel. Remaining solids are converted to compost in a quasi-continuous process.

CONCENTRATED AQUEOUS SUSPENSION OF MICROFIBRILLATED CELLULOSE COMPRISING SALTS FOR PLANT NUTRITION
A concentrated aqueous composition of microfibrillated cellulose (MFC) comprising salts for plant nutrition. The concentrated aqueous composition comprises microfibrillated linear polymers of D-glucose molecules (cellulose microfibers), calcium ions, sulfate ions and other elements for plant nutrition. The concentration of calcium ions and sulfate ions exceeds the concentration corresponding to the solubility of calcium sulfate in water. The proportion of MFC is within a range of 1% and 99% w/w of the composition, and the precipitation of salts is prevented in a pH range from 1 to 13.
Valorisation of potassium salts coproduced in fermentation processes
The present technology relates to a method for preparing a mixture of solid potassium salts from a fermentation juice from a fermentation process for the production of chemical compounds in a pH-controlled fermentation medium by adding of a base comprising potassium hydroxide. The method comprises adding an acid to the fermentation juice in an amount sufficient to cause the precipitation of the mixture of potassium salts, and then separating the mixture of salts of potassium solid potassium acidified fermentation juice. The present technology also relates to the mixture of potassium salts obtained by said method and its use as fertilizer.

The present technology also relates to the mixture of potassium salts obtained by said method and its use as fertilizer.
PLANT GROWTH PROMOTER
The present invention is a plant growth promoter containing one or more seed shell components of plant selected from Palmae Elaeis, Leguminosae Faboideae, Juglandaceae, Rosaceae Prunus, and Oleeae.
Novel Method to Formulate Humic Substances
A method of formulating novel humic material is disclosed comprising mixing one or more portions of Dimethylphenylpiperazinium (DMPP) with one or more portions of N—(N-butyl) thiophosphoric triamide (NBPT) with one or more portions of Isobutylidene-diurea (IBDU) with one or more portions of Polyaspartic Acid with one or more portions of Chitosan and a portion of Mycorrhizae and Rhizobia to form a portion of biostimulant material; obtaining a portion of seaweed harvest and crushing and drying said portion of seaweed to form a portion of seaweed powder; Obtaining a portion of leonardite and crushing said portion of leonardite to form a portion of humic raw material; mixing one or more portion of animal manure with one or more portion of stover with one or more portion of organic waste to form a portion of compositing mix and composting said compositing mix to form a portion of composted product; obtaining a portion of plant waste and subjecting said portion of plant waste through an anaerobic combustion to form a portion of bio char; mixing said portion of bio char with said portion of composted product with said portion of humic product to form a portion of humic processed material; adding a portion of artificial taggant to said humic processed material to form tagged humic product; mixing said tagged humic product with said portion of biostimulant material to form a portion of biostimulant humic product; adding a taggant to said portion of biostimulant humic product to form a portion of tagged biostimulant humic product; mixing one or more portion of phosphorus with a portion of potassium and a portion of nitrogen and a portion of trace minerals to form portion of raw fertilizer; mixing said portion of raw fertilizer with said portion of tagged biostimulant humic product to form a portion of tagged fertilized biostimulant humic product.
ORGANOMINERAL FERTILIZER AND PROCESS THEREFOR
A method for producing an organomineral fertilizer from organic waste includes mixing organic waste with an oxidizing agent to cause an oxidizing reaction that causes combustion of the organic waste to form an oxidated waste matter, supplementing the oxidated waste matter with a chemical or mineral fertilizer to form tut organomineral mixture, drying the organomineral mixture to reduce a water content thereof and obtain a drier organomineral mixture, and forming the drier organomineral mixture into a desired shape, such as powder, granules or pellets, etc.

PROCESS FOR PRODUCING TOPSOIL AND COMPOST AND TOPSOIL AND COMPOST PRODUCTS
A process for producing compost that includes the steps of providing a supply of vegetable matter selected from the group of vegetable matter consisting of trees, stumps, brush, leaves and animal manure, agitating the vegetable matter to loosen and remove dirt associated with the vegetable matter and reducing the size of the vegetable matter. A variable amount of the vegetable matter is incinerated to produce a fine ash and the vegetable matter is combined with the ash. A process for producing topsoil includes the step of adding dirt to the vegetable matter/ash combination. Compost and topsoil products are also disclosed.
