Microbes

Biopallo process breaks down macro-organic material in an aerobic microbiological environment (reactor), where the material becomes hygienic via high temperature. The choice of raw industrial organic materials, the speed of the microbiological process, and the addition of the appropriate bacterial strains in the Biopallo reactor results in the creation of safe, fibrous, decomposed organic matter. This hygenic humus provides rich nutrients and beneficial bacteria for plants and the natural living ecosystem.

In the Biopallo process, industrial and agricultural sidestreams are transformed into organic soil improvers, that plant operators can furter process into recycled fertizers by the clients needs

‎Biomasses from the process are useful either as such (earth improvers) or enriched and granulated with high nutrient supplemental components (granular fertilizers).‎


 

Soil improving matter

Raw or post-ripened organic biomass generated in the process is suitable as a soil improvement (Finnish Food Authority classification 3A2 Organic soil improvement agents). It can be applied to the field in bulk with equipment suitable for the application of lime or dry manure. The amounts of use depend on the nutrient content of the product, but 4-8 tn/ha of uses are normal and in this case, in addition to nutrients, a high amount of carbon is obtained in the ground to turn the carbon handprint of the field from negative to positive.‎

  • An excellent breeding ground for mycelium

  • Attracts micro-organisms

  • Acts as an excellent soil amendment

  • Accelerates photosynthesis and binds carbon to the soil

  • Improves soil’s structure

  • ‎Fibrous structure binds water and balances soil moisture‎

Granulated recycled fertilizer 

Soil healing matter can be enriched with different organic or unorganic additives for increasing its nutrient contents (especially nitrogen).

The matter can be granulated to organic fertilizer, that can be spread on surface or by insemination

Dosing quantities depend on matters nutrient contents, whereas a dosing of 500-800kg/ha is considered enough forsituations, where soil is first revitalised with Biopallo soil healing matter

  • Contains organic matters with nutrients

  • Nutrients are released according the needs of the plants

  • Nutrients are not washed out into waterbodys

  • Can even replace mineral fertilizers

  • Circular fertilizers will become part of the agriculture

Raw materials for growing media

Different types of low-nutrient materials can be used to produce soil improver, which main function is to replace peat or other organic materials in growing media. These kinds of materials are for example agricultural biomasses such as hay, straw or greenhouse green wastes, as well as comparable biomasses such as raking and leaf waste. Different types of forest industry side streams, which contain a lot of organic matter but relatively few nutrients, are also suitable for processing with Biopallo's technology.
