Direct Land Application Resource Recovery
Clean, liquid and semi-liquid organic residuals (fats, oils and greases ("FOG"), food-related residuals, etc.) are excellent resources for increasing soil organic matter, thus providing immediate and long-term enhancements to agricultural soils when utilized and managed properly.
Our exclusive, licensed and patented 1 direct land application solution uses the natural digestion ability of microbes in the soil to convert the organic waste into stable soil organic matter. Years of experience and understanding of the complexities of organic residual - soil interactions has allowed us to develop a patented technique for the utilization of organic residuals as agricultural soil conditioners. This technique encompasses all scientific aspects of the management process, and ensures that the maximum benefit is obtained from the waste at all times.
Benefits:
- Diverts beneficial organics from landfill
- Enhanced soil resource - improved soil quality
- Provides expert nutrient management guidance
- More economical than other methods of FOG/organic waste treatment or disposal
- Sustainable - organic residuals can be applied to active agricultural fields year after year, ad infinitum
- Collection, processing, storage and utilization are conducted in a safe, secure and nuisance-free manner
Our process has the capacity to utilize very large quantities of organic residuals and can be successfully applied to the management of a wide variety of materials (including FOG waste, food service and processing residuals, food wastes, animal manures, etc.).
We manage all aspects of the direct land application process:
- designing on-farm residuals storage facilities
- permitting and approvals
- collecting and transporting the residuals to the farm sites
- quality control
- creation of nutrient management plans for the utilization process
- application/injection of the residuals into the soil
- monitor results
Our direct land application process ensures a sustainable, low-cost disposal/recycling option for large streams of clean organic residuals. Where available, direct land application is added to our network of third-party recycling/disposal options to ensure that your waste will always be processed at an approved facility, at the lowest possible cost. For the very large volume organic waste generators, we can assist to establish and/or manage dedicated direct land application sites and systems.
