Nutrient Reduction Process:
Mixing capability to simulate varying waste conditions.
Solid recovery module consists of a centrifuge with a hydraulically driven scroll motor. This improved centrifuge will remove moisture and will prepare feed stock entering the gasifier.
Gasification of waste will be performed and gas measurements will be made to quantify, characterize and optimize this waste to energy process. |

|
Farm description/project location:
The Whitcomb Farm has a 250 cow milking herd in Williston, Vermont, located on the banks of Winooski River a tributary of Lake Champlain. Much of the farm land in the Champlain Valley is saturated with phosphorus with the application of manure.
The current demonstration is a joint effort of the Vermont NRCS, the Lake Champlain Basin Program, the Vermont Agency of Agriculture, EPA, Vermont Agency of Natural Resources, and the Poultney/Mettowee Conservation District. The proposed project requires a strategic site selection. |

Nutrient Reduction Process:
Biological treatment towers contain patented Looped Cord Media. The system digests solids and then treats the effluent, continuously.
Biofilter units remove N,P,& K from the liquid exiting the digester, which can be spray irrigated.
Existing digester generates methane gas for use on the farm either as heat or electricity. |

Process:
The system consists of an induced blanket reactor (IBR), which is a type of anaerobic digester converting organic carbon in the manure to methane and carbon dioxide.
The (IBR) is followed by an electro-coagulation unit to concentrate nutrients from the effluent of the IBR. The anaerobic digestion system allows the electro-coagulation process to perform more efficiently.
Effluent from the electro-coagulation unit will be combined with sludge from the IBR producing a valuable liquid fertilizer and soil conditioner.
Treated water from the system is nearly odorless and contains less than 25% of the nutrients in the original waste stream.
Biogas will be produced from this system and utilized to offset the electrical usage.

Nutrient Reduction Process:
Easily-assembled recovery system that utilizes the reaction capabilities of inexpensive, milled brucitic marble to extract between 75% - 90% of most nutrients within the waste stream.
Uses a magnesium source to react with Nitrogen & Phosphorous to form a crystal precipitate.
Uses mechanical cellulose separator, a series of reaction tanks (sized for the anticipated flow) with simple mechanical (paddle) agitation, and a hydro-cyclone separator and drying screen for the recovery of the precipitate.
Precipitated crystals and liquid are sent to the drying screen; crystals are separated from the liquid then stored for various farmers to use as a slow release fertilizer. The remaining liquid flows to a lagoon for solids settling.
