SCREEN
The pellets are screened into two size classes. Large pellets for turf application and the finer is suitable for greens.

BAG HOUSE AND CYCLONE
Dust expelled from the shaker is returned to the mixer where it is added to the fertilizer product.

END PRODUCT
The consistent, odor free, pathogen free natural 12-8-8 fertilizer is trucked off the property.

WET SCRUBBER RETURN
Nitrogen and Sulfur compounds from the Wet Scrubber are returned to the input stream to be added to the fertilizer.

CHARRING DRUM
The pelleted product is charred. Charring removes odor and any remaining pathogens.

BRINE POND
The concentrated brine created from the freeze/thaw process is stored in a covered pond before being transferred to the mixer.

MIXER
Solids are blended with brine and recycled solids.

CENTRIFUGE
The centrifuge further reduces moisture content, concentrating the material to 25-30 percent solids. A material that once was liquid is now the consistency of potting soil.

DRYER
The concentrated material is dried to create rich, high quality fertilizer pellets, which will be trucked off the farm.

STORAGE POND
The liquid is stored in the storage pond.

FREEZE/THAW SEPARATION
During the winter liquids are processed through freeze/thaw. Water with a high nutrient content freezes more slowly. This allows for separation of the nutrients through the natural climate cycle. This concentrated brine is passed on to the brine pond.

14 SETS OF IRP
Bypassing lagoons entirely, effluent flows from the barns and through the Internal Reticulation Process where it is concentrated from 0.25 percent solids to 8 percent solids and moves to the digester.

TREATED WATER STORAGE POND
Clean water stored for irrigation or further treatment to be fed back to the animals.

DIGESTER
Volatile organic material is removed from the slurry-like substance and converted to methane gas, which is used in the drying process.
