Gen3Tech Platform

 

 

Bion’s Gen3Tech platform integrates several systems and processes to provide today’s state-of-the-art livestock production platform.

Producing sustainable beef starts by moving the cattle from traditional outdoor feedlots into innovative indoor barns. That gets them out of the weather, improving production, and now their waste can be collected and treated 24/7.

The waste quickly enters the treatment system where it undergoes a variety of biological, thermal and mechanical processes. First, is anaerobic digestion (AD), where methane (biogas) is produced.

The AD discharge is then treated in the patented Ammonia Recovery System, Bion’s core technology. The ARS captures the volatile and problematic ammonia in the digestate and stabilizes it with CO2 (also from the waste stream). This prevents both its economic loss, as well as significant environmental impacts.

The end result is clean water, renewable natural gas, and superior organic and low-carbon fertilizer products that can be precision applied.
