Bion Technology
Bion`s Comprehensive Environmental Management System removes up to 95% of the nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus) from the livestock waste effluent and substantially reduces air emissions, including ammonia (as great as 90% or more), greenhouse gases, hydrogen sulfide, VOC`s and others. The system extracts renewable energy from the waste stream in the form of cellulosic biomass in a process that is much more efficient than others seeking to exploit this energy source. The technology is patented, proven and is quickly gaining acceptance from regulatory and other stakeholders.Bion`s core technology is a biological process that facilitates the growth of large populations of naturally-occurring bacteria that are responsible for the conversion of the nitrogen and phosphorus in the waste stream. Some of the nitrogen is released to the atmosphere in the form of harmless and inert nitrogen gas (N2). Most of the remaining nitrogen, as well as phosphorus, is converted by the bacteria into solid or particulate forms that are removable by centrifuge and other processes. Bion`s technology achieves 75 to 80% reductions of nutrients in the effluent; further treatment can increase the reductions to up to 95%. The system provides an expected pathogen reduction of three to nine orders of magnitude (three to nine log kill) depending upon the level of nutrient treatment employed at a particular site.
