This invention is directed to systems, devices and methods for treating organic-containing sludges and converting such sludges to high value fertilizers containing both inorganic and organic fertilizer components, which creates an inorganically-augmented bioorganic fertilizer. The invention describes methods to create a thixotrophic or paste-like material via the application of mixing energy to the organic sludge followed by an alkaline treatment and a subsequent ammoniation. The invention further describes a method to increase the plant nutrient content in the organic containing product to a level which permits the finished granular fertilizer product to compete in the commercial agricultural fertilizer marketplace. Further, the invention reduces odors associated with said organic-containing sludges.
An inorganically-enhanced, bioorganic fertilizer with reduced bioorganic odor, comprising dried granules of one or more organic materials containing bioactive substances and a nutrient mixture,
An inorganically-enhanced, bioorganic fertilizer with reduced bioorganic odor comprising dried granules of one or more organic materials containing bioactive substances, a binding or granulating agent, and a nutrient mixture, wherein the dried granules have a dryness of greater than 90%, an average diameter of from 2.0 mm to 3.5 mm and are coated with a material to reduce dust formation;
An inorganically-enhanced, bioorganic fertilizer with reduced bioorganic odor, comprising one or more organic materials containing bioactive substances, a binding or granulating agent, and a nutrient mixture, wherein the activity of the bioactive substances and the bioorganic odor have each been substantially reduced or eliminated during processing with the nutrient mixture;
