- OriginClear
key partner in water-treatment system that transforms manure into
zero-waste output of fertilizer, clean irrigation water
- Meeting
government regulations for ammonia levels major hurdle for pork producers
in Spain
- “Game
changer” system already driving deal flow for OriginClear
OriginClear
Inc. (OTC: OCLN), a leading provider of water-treatment solutions, and
Depuporc S.L., the company’s Spain-based licensee (http://ibn.fm/VFPoj), have
partnered to build a comprehensive water-treatment system that continuously
transforms pig manure into a zero-waste output of fertilizer and clean
irrigation water (http://ibn.fm/R8u8G).
The system could be transformative in the country, which is the world’s
fourth-highest pork producer, positioning OCLN for significant market
penetration.
OriginClear CEO Riggs Eckelberry recently returned from a
trip to Spain. There, he participated in a demonstration of the system, which
allows companies to dramatically increase production while still complying with
strict European Union environmental limits.
“Until recently, swine farm operators in Spain have
irrigated their fields with manure effluent,” Depuporc co-owner Eduardo Chopo
stated in a news release. “Most operators in the region are planning large
increases in hog farming, but their lands are already saturated with ammonia.
Strict EU limits make ammonia reduction absolutely essential before increases
in swine production can occur.
“The logical solution for these operators is to treat the
manure for fertilizer and water reuse,” he continued. “This is where our
patented system, which incorporates OriginClear’s technology as a third and
final step, has been shown to reduce pollutants and also generate valuable
fertilizer and irrigation-grade water, solving a major barrier to expansion for
European hog farmers.”
The Depuporc demonstration system processes 30 metric tons
per day, with the demonstration system reducing COD (chemical oxygen demand)
from 83,000 to 300 mg/liter and ammonia from 11,000 to 230 mg/liter.
“As manure decomposes, it creates ammonia, which makes the
soil more acidic, harming plant and animal life, and indirectly, human health,”
explained Eckelberry (http://ibn.fm/nWrrI).
“So Europe — and the rest of the developed world — closely regulates ammonia
emissions. Most of Europe has been doing a good job of reducing ammonia, but
Spain’s emissions have gone up, not down.
“Now, the country’s pork producers are up against
a Spanish law that limits nitrogen production to 210 kilos per
hectare per year,” he continued. “And what does the Depuporc system achieve
with our technology? How about 16 kilos? That’s a game changer, and it’s
already driving deal flow for us in the United States.”
In addition to participating in the system presentation,
Eckelberry and Bill Charneski, president of the OriginClear Group, toured the
facility and other farms in the region (http://ibn.fm/n7yLq).
“With its system protected by Spanish patent No. 2011311192,
Depuporc has hit a home run,” Eckelberry said. “They have integrated our
technology to effectively reduce solids and ammonia in a working field manure
treatment system.”
