Introduction
Our teams goal is to provide affordable enivronemntal technology to homeowners. The ability to replace common household items with sustainable and affordable alternatives is crucial in acheiving a balance between mankind and our environment.
Nitrification Column Project
The purpose of this biological technology is to convert Human Urine into usable Nitrates. Nitrates are a key component in soil fertilization techniques. The final product, a liquid solution of Nitrates, is collected and distributed over the desired soil. Taking full advantage of the benefits of urine is a good way of "closing the cycle" in agriculture nutrient flows. This system could also possibly reduce sewage costs, ecological consequences, as well as improve sanitation in developing areas.
