The Process

The Process

A final “pre-commercial” pilot plant has been completed to inform the detailed design required for building the first commercial facility. The project is now in its final engineering phase, with the goal of achieving completion and starting production at the first commercial plant by early 2026.

Cleaned and Green vs. Anaerobic Digestion

Cleaned And Green Advantages

✅ Zero Greenhouse Gas Emissions – No harmful methane or CO₂ release

✅ Energy-Efficient Dry Product – No fossil fuels required for drying

✅ Complete Residue Breakdown – Eliminates contaminants in starting litter

✅ Cost-Effective – Low capital and operational costs

✅ Simple & Scalable – Easy-to-implement process with a small plant footprint

✅ Global Applicability – Can be deployed worldwide

✅ Efficient Fertilizer Production – Uses raw materials for nutrient enhancement

✅ Rapid Processing – Converts waste into product in minutes

✅ Reliable & Consistent – Not dependent on bacterial health

Anaerobic Digestion Disadvantages

❌ Generates CO₂ – Methane burning for energy contributes to emissions

❌ Imbalanced Fertilizer Output – High phosphorus, low nitrogen content

❌ Expensive Setup – Requires significant capital investment

❌ Large Facility Requirement – Demands a substantial footprint

❌ Slow Processing Time – Takes days to produce the final product

❌ Biological Risks – Susceptible to bacterial crashes and inefficiencies

❌ Complex System – Requires careful management and monitoring

❌ Residual Contaminants – May leave behind unwanted waste materials

❌ High Water Content – Process results in a wet digestate product

Cleaned and Green vs. Heat Treating Processes

Advantages of Cleaned and Green:

 

✅ No Emission of Greenhouse Gases

✅ Product is Dry without using Fossil Fuels

✅ No Waste Streams from the Process

✅ Low Operational Costs

✅ Destroys Residues in Starting Litter

✅ Process Can be Implemented Worldwide

✅ No Loss of Plant Nutrients in the Process

✅ Phosphorus Concentration is Lowered to Protect Waterways

✅ Nutrient Content is Enhanced Cost-Effectively

✅ Nutrient Levels Easily Adjustable

 

Advantages of Cleaned and Green:

 

❌ High Energy Input

❌ Uses Fossil Fuels for Drying

❌ Emits Greenhouse Gases

❌ Loss of Nutrients in the Process to Nitrogen Volatilization

❌ Does not Destroy Drug Residues

❌ Additional nutrients not in water soluble form

❌ Product Has Low Nitrogen to Phosphorus ratio

❌ Not Flexible in Product Nutrient Levels without Adding Other Products
