- Bion Environmental Technologies (BNET, Financial) completes successful optimization of its Ammonia Recovery System (ARS) at Fair Oaks, IN.
- Projected operating costs for full-scale commercial systems are 25% lower than previous models.
- Bion evaluates over two dozen potential projects, aiming to supply organic nitrogen fertilizer by 2026.
Bion Environmental Technologies, Inc. (BNET) has announced the successful completion of its Technology-Optimization Report for the Ammonia Recovery System (ARS) at Fair Oaks, Indiana. The optimization process demonstrated improved efficiencies, including the requirement of one-third less water evaporation than anticipated, achieving ammonia reduction targets with more favorable economics.
The company expects operating costs for full-scale commercial ARS to be 25% lower than previously estimated, leading to decreased capital expenditures and fertilizer production costs. Bion partnered with Buflovak, a New York-based engineering firm specializing in evaporation, distillation, and separation processes, for the system’s development and testing.
Bion is currently evaluating more than two dozen potential projects, with the goal of supplying its organic nitrogen fertilizer to growers by the 2026 growing season. The ARS technology focuses on recovering ammonia from animal manure and organic waste streams, preventing environmental pollution and producing low-carbon nitrogen fertilizers.
