Practical Applications of BioTech

We have identified a range of practical applications where our BioTech technology can be effectively utilized:

  • Detoxification of organic matter, organic compounds, and volatile organic compounds (VOCs)
  • Degradation of benzene rings, PCBs, formaldehyde — contributing to the mitigation of sick building syndrome
  • Measures against chemical sensitivity
  • Purification and detoxification of contaminated soil
  • Volume reduction of waste materials
  • Production of fully matured compost using aerobic microorganisms

Among these, we will now focus on composting as a key application.

What Is Composting?

Composting is one practical application of BioTech, in which microorganisms break down organic matter, converting pollutants into nutrient-rich fertilizer. Typically, organic waste — such as household food scraps and garden trimmings — is collected and composted to create natural fertilizer.
Compost is also widely used in agriculture, gardening, and soil improvement.

Compost supplies essential organic materials and trace elements, helping maintain healthy soil.
Composting methods include natural composting, where organic matter is left to decompose outdoors by natural microbes, and controlled composting, which accelerates decomposition by optimizing conditions for microbial growth.

We successfully applied this technology to sediments from a dam, achieving effective composting. (See detailed report [here])

Benefits of Compost

Compost enhances soil fertility and supports sustainable agriculture and horticulture through:

  • Soil Improvement: Enhances soil structure, improves water retention, and boosts drainage.
  • Nutrient Supply: Provides essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, magnesium, and calcium.
  • pH Balance: Helps neutralize soil acidity, facilitating nutrient uptake by plants.
  • Pest and Disease Control: Microbial activity in compost can inhibit pathogens and pests.
  • Environmental Protection: Promotes resource recycling by reducing waste through composting.

The Composting Process

Composting is a biological process that converts organic matter into a reusable soil amendment.
The typical stages of composting include:

  1. Preparation of Feedstock:
    Collect organic materials such as food waste, agricultural residues, and grass clippings.
  2. Initiation of Composting:
    Begin composting under controlled conditions — managing temperature, humidity, airflow, and pH — to promote microbial growth and decomposition.
  3. Decomposition:
    Microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, and algae break down organic matter, releasing nutrients like carbon, phosphorus, and potassium.
  4. Secondary Processing (Turning):
    Periodically turning the compost pile improves oxygen supply and enhances compost quality.
  5. Maturation:
    As decomposition slows, the compost stabilizes. Microbes break down finer materials, producing mature compost ready for use as fertilizer.
