N-Viro International Corporation

I am currently researching for environmental-related article to write for publication, and I was introduced to the N-Viro International Corporation, a US-based company that develops and licenses its environmental friendly technology to municipalities and private companies. Their patented technologies transform waste into reusable products.What they are doing should be interesting, as they are using municipal waste and bio solids which can be abundantly found in any cities. They have generated sales in excess of $40 million dollars since its initial public offering in October of 1993.

The N-Viro technologies involve the mixing of municipal bio solids with specific alkaline waste products from the coal combustion electric generation, cement and lime industries. This process stabilizes organic waste through pasteurization and complete disinfection. Eventually, it will convert wastewater sludge and other bio-organic wastes into biomineral agricultural and soil-enrichment products with real market value. This is a brilliant use of idea to convert waste to energy, and encourages the search of alternative energy for sustainable development.

The patented N-Viro Process can produce the multi-functional N-Viro Soil for agricultural use as a bio-organic and mineral fertilizer with agricultural liming and nutrient values, as landfill cover material, as a topsoil blending ingredient and for land reclamation projects. Its BioDry technology is designed to decrease the time needed to dry the biosolids product as well as decreasing the footprint of the drying facility.

N-Viro BioBlend patented technology is used to accelerate the composting of yard waste and other green waste materials.

N-Viro Fuel is a newly developed and patented biomass fuel that has physical and chemical characteristics similar to coal and is created from municipal biosolids and other organic wastes like manure and pulp and paper sludge. An important advantage of the waste biomass-derived fuel is the ammonia that is released from the wastes in the process. This ammonia is available to be used as a substitute for ammonia or urea for NOx removal. Thus, clean coal is made possible by the N-Viro technology.
