HPL is an excellent fertilizer

HPL is an excellent fertilizer

The first results from our series of commercial fertilizer trials with hydrolyzed protein liquid derived from abattoir tissue and blood processed with a MAAHP tissue processor. The graph attached below clearly shows the increase in plant biomass compared to the control when HPL is added to soil.

MAAHP Tissue Processors

MAAHP Tissue Processors

Convertech pioneered the development and use of alkaline hydrolysis based tissue processors in Africa. Tissue processors provide an attractive and environmentally friendly alternative to incineration and have many exciting applications whenever potentially bio-hazardous anatomical material or fluids have to be processed. More specifically, Convertech developed the MAAHP tissue processing class of technology to effectively process any type of animal tissue originating from an abattoir into a safe, pathogen free and stable liquid (HPL) with varied applications in the agricultural &...

Composting

Composting

Composting as a naturally occurring process is as old as time itself, yet it remains one of the most challenging areas of biological conversion technology. The sheer number of variables that compost makers have to manage in order to achieve a specific end result is daunting to say the least. Composting is all about a carefully calculated recipe that optimizes raw material composition through the incorporation of technology that aligns specific biological niches with various environmental parameters in such a manner that microbial conversion can proceed in a predictable and dependable manner...

Fungal Conversion

Fungal Conversion

Fungal conversion of lignocellulosic materials is an exciting branch of the biological conversion industry as it facilitates a biological process where wood wastes can be processed in a completely natural and environmentally benign manner and where one or more valuable and commercially attractive by-products are produced as part of the process In contrast to composting, fungal conversion is a fully controllable biological process where only one specific type of fungal agent is employed to process – or sometimes re-process – the lignocellulosic material into a different state. This type of...

The Bioliquidator System

The Bioliquidator System

The BioLiquidator System – a perfect solution for responsible carcass disposal The Bioliquidator System is available from Convertech.  Please Visit the Bioliquidator web site for more detailed information. Designed by Bio-response Solution in a joint venture with LEI Products (Madisonville, KY), this carcass digester enables responsible carcass disposal in the agricultural industry. Until now, alkaline hydrolysis equipment has been too expensive for agricultural use. This system is one tenth the cost of high pressure systems of equal capacity. The BioLiquidator is affordable, uses...
