Bion Environmental Technologies Inc., an advanced livestock waste treatment technology and premium sustainable beef company, announced that the Ammonia Recovery System (ARS) at its Fair Oaks commercial-scale demonstration facility has achieved and maintained controlled steady-state operations under a variety of conditions. When at steady state, the system produces an ammonium distillate (solution), the base of Bion’s nitrogen fertilizer products.
Bion has begun optimizing the system’s operating parameters so that it will meet or exceed Bion’s economic models for large-scale commercial projects. The company expects the optimization to take at least four to eight weeks, at which point final design for commercial projects can begin.
