New wastewater treatment technology at Fonterra’s Edendale site is turning dairy waste into fertilizer that is helping local pastures flourish. ###The site has created a fertilizer product from the microbial treatment of wastewater. ###Tests show the treatment creates some of the most nutrient rich dairy-derived fertilizer in the country that is proving a hit with farmers.###“Our manufacturing process produces wastewater that contains dairy solids,” s
aid
environmental manager Ian Goldschmidt. ###“We use microbes to consume those solids which in turn produce a dense liquid.”###“Thanks to new technocalcium citrate 1500 mg with vitamin dlogy in the plant we are now able to decant that liquid into a rich fertilizer that is producing exceptional results on pasture.” ###The sophisticated plant technology – which is also being used at Fonterra’s Stirling, Pahiatua and Lichfield calcium citrate magnesium and zinc with vitamin d3sites – is helping deliver on the Co-operative’s sustainability commitments.###“Since the upgrade, the quality of the product we’re making has seen demand take off and farm
ers are coming to us directly to put their names on the list,” he said.###The fcitracal calcium dertilizer is one of three products that are mmag citade at the wastewater plant that benefit local farmers. ###Fonterra is working with new technoswanson ca
lciumlogy to turn the other by-product into stock food and the increased capacity of the new wastewater storage pond enables the co-operative to return as much water as possible to the land through irrigation.
