Organic Fertilizer Plant
With
today’s growing environmental concerns, more and more people are debating on
which method should be used to fertilize plants. Most have turned to organic
fertilizers as the safer and more cost-effective method compared to using
artificial fertilizers.
As
a direct result of this organic movement, the market for organic fertilizers
has grown immense and the people riding in this tide of successful market
venture are of course the organic fertilizer plant owners.
Organic
fertilizer plants have been cropping up all over the world, producing anything
from manure organic fertilizer to natural seaweed extracts and the like. With
the heavy demand for organic fertilizers, it seems production will never stop
in organic fertilizer plants.
Establishing
organic fertilizer plants is only the next logical step that the agricultural
industries should make. Organic fertilizer plants are an effective means of
ridding the world of organic matter that would otherwise rot and go to waste.
For
instance, chicken farms are a great source of living but the waste matters,
that is, chicken manure, they produce by the gallons might be quite a nuisance
to the atmosphere. Therefore, the solution would be to convert chicken manure
into something useful by establishing an organic fertilizer plant.
Just
recently, the largest and most up-to-date organic fertilizer plant in China began its operations in Dalian City
in the northeastern province
of Liaoning . Built by Han Wei, China ’s largest chicken farm, the
organic fertilizer plant turns out 100,000 tons of fertilizer annually.
Han
Wei had collaborated with Shenyang Applied Ecology Research Institute (SAERI)
to start operations on the organic fertilizer plant. Scientists in Liaoning and Heilongjiang
provinces have conducted experiments to find out if the product of this organic
fertilizer plant is effective. Their studies show that the organic fertilizer
plant’s product can raise the output percentage of fruit, vegetables and
flowers from eight to eighteen percent.
In
the United States , an
organic fertilizer plant has also started its base operations in County Sussex ,
Delaware .
Perdue AgriRecycle organic fertilizer plant is a joint venture between the
poultry company Perdue Farms Inc. and AgriRecycle, the company that developed
the litter-pelletizing technology.
The
65,000-square-foot, totally enclosed organic fertilizer plant uses an
environment-friendly method of recapturing the nitrogen and phosphorus and
preserving the organic matter of poultry litter. With this method then, the
organic fertilizer plant of Perdue AgriRecycle can convert poultry manure into
80,000 tons of fertilizer pellets.
But
chicken manure is not the only way to go with having an organic fertilizer
plant. Several waste companies that collect food and green waste in its service
area for composting also function as an organic fertilizer plant.
During the process of
composting in the organic fertilizer plant, however, organic waste water is
produced as a by-product. The waste company will not be able to process this
and sends it to another organic fertilizer plant that will be the one to
separate the nutrients from the waste water.
There
are several other potential sources of organic fertilizers all over the world
that are yet to be tapped by an organic fertilizer plant. With the problem of
soil nutrient management in farms, it will not be long before another
enterprising organic fertilizer plant owner will venture out and test those
sources.
