Bion’s Gen3Tech platform integrates several systems and processes into a state-of-the-art livestock finishing facility that improves animal health and production efficiencies, while minimizing environmental impacts.

Improving efficiencies and economics starts with moving the cattle from traditional outdoor feedlots into indoor barns. Barns protect the animals from harsh weather, improve production, and allow continuous waste collection and treatment. 

The waste quickly enters the closed 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 the significant environmental impacts it causes.

The end result is clean water, renewable natural gas, and superior OMRI Listed and low-carbon fertilizer products that can be precision applied, when and where needed.
