The local research center Natural Circulation Scientific said it developed multiple fermentation system using ST complex microbe in a bid to effectively deal with slaughterhouse waste and to treat offensive odor.
“We applied the multiple fermentation system using ST complex microbe into slaughterhouse waste of fertilizer places in Gimje, a city in North Jeolla Province, from last December to March. This helped produce high-quality, highly-efficient and eco-friendly compost, and remove offensive odor,” said Lee Suk-tae, chief of the research center, in an interview with Korea IT Times.
Conventionally, the reaction process of quicklime in fertilizer places generate offensive odor during the manufacturing process. The production also takes around 20 days due to the lack of organism compared to compost. All the problems, thus, generate civil complaints along with low quality and low efficiency.
However, this new multiple fermentation system using ST complex microbe dismantles internal organs and blood meal of slaughters in five days, and it takes only seven days from putting the originals to the production. Also, as the compost products are eco-friendly compost which has a lot of complex organisms, it does not generate any offensive odor during manufacturing process.
Natural Circulation Institute is an organization specializing in microorganism research and eco-friendly, organic compost fermentation. For the past decades, it has provided consulting services on eco-friendly handling of food waste, animal byproducts and human waste.
It has microbe patents “ST-01, ST-02, ST-03” which is about manufacturing process of microbe to prevent microbial contamination. It also developed multiple fermentation system adjusting for environment and condition.
Especially, ST complex microbe is capable of dismantling various heavy metals and useless materials found inside contaminated soil. It is eco-friendly microbe to recover fertility of soil, and purify underwater pollution source. Also, ST complex microbe is used for environmental-friendly compost production which recycles organic waste.
“Environmental problems are becoming more serious due to the rising meat diet, non-eco-friendly slaughter processing and foot-and-mouth disease,” Lee said.
“Fermentation circulation which promotes circulation of all materials will be a great help to the environmental conservation and the happiness of mankind,” he added.
The fermentation technology is also applicable to other nations such as China, India and the Philippines, which are suffering from pollution of animal waste, according to the institute.
