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.
