Biological Solutions for Organic Material Management

Alisra applies microbial biology to help industries manage and biologically process manure, agricultural residues and other biodegradable organic materials.

Our microbial technologies target complex organic fractions including cellulose, lignin, starch, proteins and lipids, supporting biological decomposition across a range of agricultural and industrial systems.

Environoc 501 biological decomposition technology

Where It Applies

Four industrial pathways for biological decomposition.

Environoc® 501

Application 01

Biogas Feedstock Pretreatment

Biological Feedstock Pretreatment

Support the biological breakdown of complex organic feedstocks associated with anaerobic digestion.

Environoc® 501 provides microbial decomposition capability targeting multiple complex organic fractions within organic feedstocks. It does not replace the natural anaerobic microbial community, nor is it a methanogenic inoculum.

Relevant feedstocks

Cow dung and animal manure
Agricultural biomass
Organic agricultural residues
Other biodegradable feedstocks

CelluloseLigninStarchProteinsLipids

Process

Organic Feedstock
Biological Treatment / Pretreatment
Anaerobic Digestion
Biogas + Digestate

Application Approach

Application rates and dosing protocols are determined according to feedstock characteristics, daily throughput, digester configuration, retention time and treatment objective.

For continuous biogas operations, Environoc® 501 can be incorporated through a tailored biological treatment program rather than applying a standard composting dose to every metric ton of feedstock.

The treatment approach may consider:

Daily feedstock tonnage
Type and composition of feedstock
Digester capacity
Hydraulic/solids retention time
Existing biological process
Feedstock preparation system
Point of application
Desired decomposition objective

Where appropriate, a program may distinguish between initial biological loading and ongoing maintenance dosing to optimize microbial input and treatment economics.

Discuss Your Feedstock & Digester

Biogas systems vary significantly by feedstock, throughput and digester design. Contact Alisra to develop an application approach appropriate for your operation.

Application 03

Sugar Industry & Organic Residues

Biological processing of agricultural and sugar-industry organic residues.

Environoc® 501 is positioned for the biological decomposition of suitable biodegradable residues generated around sugarcane production and processing, drawing on its cellulose- and lignin-degrading microbial activity.

Potential applications

Press mud / filter cake
Sugarcane residues
Organic processing residues
Compost production
Agricultural biomass

Application 04

Commercial Composting

Microbial biology for large-scale organic decomposition.

Environoc® 501 supports biological decomposition across commercial composting systems, and is positioned for commercial operators handling large and continuous organic material volumes.

Materials processed

Animal manure
Farmyard manure
Crop residues
Agricultural biomass
Biodegradable organic material

Technology

One consortium. Multiple decomposition pathways.

Environoc® 501 uses a diverse microbial consortium rather than relying on a single microorganism or a single decomposition pathway. Different organic fractions require different biological activity — the consortium is built to act across several of them.

Where Environoc® 501 Fits

A biological decomposition technology — not only a composting product.

Downstream Utilization

Composting

Organic Fertilizer

Residue Management

The same biological decomposition step feeds several downstream routes, which is why Environoc® 501 is applicable across agricultural and industrial organic material systems.

Industrial Scale Application

Conventional organic-material decomposition and composting are dosed by the quantity of material being treated.

Recommended Application — Organic-Material Decomposition & Composting

1 L Environoc® 501

per metric ton of organic material

For biogas feedstock pretreatment, dosing is plant-specific and developed with Alisra based on feedstock, throughput and digester design.

The 1 L/MT rate applies to conventional organic-material decomposition and composting applications. Application methodology can be adapted to the material, moisture conditions, handling system and process in use at the site.

For industrial and continuous-use operations — including biogas plants — contact Alisra for application planning and volume requirements.
