A process for fermenting and recycling food waste that is fully enclosed, eliminating noxious odors, and therefore installable in a wide variety of urban settings at scale. Generally the steps of the process include intake, shredding and grinding, inoculation and acceleration, heterolactic fermentation, separation of solids and liquids, drying and distillation, and post-processing of liquid and solid byproducts. The result of the process includes useful goods such as nutrient-rich soil fertilizer, household cleaning agent, energy in the form of current or hydrogen, and treated water. The process is energy efficient and self-contained, resulting in the processing of food waste within 7 days, thus dramatically reducing the time of traditional fermentation processes to produce desired byproducts.

A decentralized based biowaste treatment system for treating biowaste (i.e., organic matter type/based waste such as manure, sawdust and/or food scraps) by manner of anaerobic digestion (e.g., an anaerobic digestion based waste-to-resource system) and a method of biowaste treatment in association with the biowaste treatment system.

A new method of disposing of waste for the hog industry is disclosed which avoids use of lagoons. Manure is semi-continuously degritted, anaerobically digested and digested with biomass to produce bio-organic fertilizer and biogas.

For qualitative and quantitative production of biogas, nanoparticles and use of macroalgae when added to AD feedstock at proper concentration, temperature and time of digestion can bring a revolution to meet the future needs of energy. The process of biofuel production can be altered by using various nanomaterials in various ways, such as by improving the stability of cellulose enzymes, enhancing the catalytic production of biohydrogen, and improving biological and chemical digestion. This influence of nanoparticles on the process is determined by their distinct catalytic activity based on structure, shape and size which is complementary to the relevant process. The addition of seaweed in the AD feedstock improves biogas output and digestate quality thus enhancing the economic viability with the simultaneous positive impact of reducing global warming.

Processes for manufacturing compositions for plants and soils, such as liquid biofertilizers and solid biostimulants, from animal manure is disclosed. The processes include the delivery of pure oxygen or oxygen-enriched air to a liquid fraction of animal manure and further include subjecting the liquid fraction to an autothermal thermophilic aerobic bioreaction. Nutritional compositions to enhance the effectiveness of synthetic fertilizers in conventional agriculture and/or for use in organic farming that are manufactured by these processes are also disclosed.

A biologically active compost is manufactured using a sterile commodity compost, a set of cultures and inoculants, and a disbursed portion of an earlier biologically active compost. The biologically active compost is manufactured from the sterile commodity compost, infusing it with the cultures and inoculants, and combining it with the disbursed portion of an earlier biologically active compost. The resultant biologically active compost includes a compost substrate suitable for growing biological material, and a microbiome permeating the substrate, the microbiome having a collection of microfauna with a wide biological diversity or other statistical variance. The microbiome includes archaea, aerobic or anaerobic bacteria, amoebae or protozoa, fungi, nematodes, microarthopods, or plant or animal fragments, well in excess of amounts that can survive the thermophilic process for producing the commodity compost.

The present invention provides organic slow-acting fertilizer using psyllium seed husk and a method for producing the same. Macroelements or secondary elements selected from 12 essential nutrient elements (N, P, K, Ca, Mg, S, Fe, Mn, Cu, B, Mo, and Zn) for edible plants are extracted from each of oil cake (collectively referring to residue remaining after extraction of vegetable oil, and including soybean oil cake, palm oil cake, etc.), blood meal (livestock blood), dead fish or bonefish-containing by-products, bone meal, Dead Sea mineral, egg shell, seashell, oystershell, natural gypsum, dolomite, phyllite, and natural salt, by a predetermined extraction process, and are impregnated in larger amounts into a porous material such as zeolite, and organic fertilizers are produced in the form of psyllium seed husk-bound grains for more rapid and effective impregnation so that suitable proportions of element fertilizers can be supplied to each type of plant.
