Pro-Act Takes the NextStep™ in Ag Waste Treatment
 

Warren, RI, November 27, 2007 --- Pro-Act Microbial, Inc. announced its new flexible, modular treatment system in August 2007. At this time, it was referred to as the Ideal Treatment System. Although the key benefits and groundbreaking technology remain the same, the system has adopted a new name: NextStep™.

This system which takes Pro-Act’s core manure treatment system to the next level was crowned “NextStep” to better convey the modular setup that allows users to “step up” to its efficiency and benefits.

Provides a controlled environment for even better system performance
Flexibility allows for the system to be customized to the farm’s needs
NextStep is easily converted into an anaerobic digester
 

The first step of Pro-Act’s waste treatment is treating the manure with their microbial system which conditions the waste for the NextStep, while it reduces odor, liquefies solids and helps with nutrient management.

The NextStep is adding a process tank (such as a Slurrystore® tank) which provides a controlled environment for the microbial system to work more efficiently. This magnifies the key benefits:

Rapid settling of solids and phosphorus to the bottom of the tank, allowing for easy removal.
Biological action stabilizes the nitrogen which reduces odor and builds a gentle, fast-acting fertilizer.
Top water with reduced solids is moved to the next stage, reducing hauling costs and providing improved irrigation water.
 

Biogas collection: Another benefit of taking the NextStep is that this innovative technology provides a convenient way to collect, utilize and profit from biogas. The gas can be used to heat the process tank to ensure year-round top performance, to heat the barns or water or to generate electricity. It can also simply be flared off, allowing farms to profit from the carbon credits.

Green technology: NextStep provides cutting-edge green technology for the agricultural industry. It helps farms, their communities and, on a larger scale, the environment by managing phosphorus, reducing odor and solids, stabilizing nitrogen and capturing biogas. The dairymen get a manure treatment system that is easy and economical to operate. The neighbors are happier residing next to a farm that has a lot less odor and that is not likely to pollute rivers and streams. To the environment’s advantage, the biogas will not go to the atmosphere and can provide a consistent source of renewable energy.

With the NextStep, manure treatment, nutrient and biogas collection can all be accomplished simply, effectively and economically.
