Step One
Enclosed tractor trailers with specialized walking floors deliver chicken litter directly into our airtight systems, all within minutes of arriving onsite.

Step Two
The chicken litter mixes with water in an oxygen-free digester tank at a temperature of 98 degrees Fahrenheit and remains there for roughly 25 days. During this process, the materials begin to break down creating two usable products – a renewable natural gas and an organic fertilizer.

Step Three
This renewable natural gas is made of methane, the same material commonly used to heat homes and cook. The gas rises to the top of the tank while the solid materials, called digestate, sit just below.

Step Four
This renewable natural gas is made of methane, the same material commonly used to heat homes and cook. The gas rises to the top of the tank while the solid materials, called digestate, sit just below.

Step Five
The remaining solid material is further refined using mechanical and chemical processes to create an organic fertilizer product. This process helps significantly remove and stabilize elements like phosphorous and nitrogen, which in some regions easily wash away, polluting the water supply.

Step Six
The organic fertilizer is then available for local farmers and their suppliers to use as a natural additive for their fields. It will provide the same micronutrient and soil bulking properties as other products, but without the oversupply of nutrients.

Step Seven
The water used in this process is then fully recycled into the plant.
