Are you afraid of composting because you’re worried about bad smells?
Now the Non-Active Biocatalysts as OrTec applied to any compost protocol will result in the following benefits:
- Odor elimination.
- Increase in compost quality.
- Promotion of compost formation accelerating the degradation process.
- Waste stabilization of the putrescible forms of organic waste.
- Nutrient Availability breaking down complex organic forms allowing crops to absorb nutrients as soon as the compost is applied as fertilizer.
- Oxygen Source increasing the oxygen availability to allow a more rapid and complete degradation of organic waste.
Given the nature of biological processes, the improvement of the quality of the compost will follow a trend that will become apparent by examining the following factors:
- Temperature decline at the end of batch composting.
- Decrease in organic content of the compost.
- Presence of nitrate, and the absence of ammonia.
- Lack of attraction of insects or development of insect larvae in the final product.
- Absence of obnoxious odors.
- Presence of white/gray color.
Summary of the Result of applying a Non-Active Biocatalyst on compost
- The Organic Solids content of the treated compost will be reduced by 75.0%.
- The Nitrogen content in the form of Ammonia NH3 will be reduced by over 40.0% in the treated compost.
- The total Nitrogen content (41.0%), which could be washed out or released into the atmosphere as ammonia will be reduced in the treated compost by 30.0%. This difference will be absorbed by the biomass and will be available as plant fertilizer over the long term.
- Over 50.0% of the main nutrients like Phosphate, Potassium, Sodium and Magnesium, will be absorbed by the biomass in the treated compost and prevented from being washed out. Consequently these will be also available as plant fertilizer.
- In the treated compost, the Nitrogen readily available in the form of Nitrate NO3 will be doubled, indicating the compost’s potential as immediate fertilizer.
