Phosphorous Recovery Systems

The recovery of phosphorous in the form of Struvite (Magnesium Ammonium Phosphate Hexahydrate, 6:29:0:10 Mg) from organic waste streams is a key roadmap towards avoiding a real global crisis in the next 5 to 8 decades, even as current prices threaten to spiral out of control courtesy of the fact that phosphate rock is only found in a few geographical locations.

Luckily, the low solubility of Struvite in water means it’s slow-release quality in soil will be key in radically reducing the excessive and unequal rates presently applied over the rooting-growth-maturity cycle - an estimated 70 - 90% of the synthetic phosphate fertilizer as presently deployed of which is not absorbed by plants and now threatens unprecedented levels of soil degradation, low yields and water pollution.
