Total Metric Tons of CO₂ Equivalents Avoided To Date

Specific to livestock and dairy operations, BioFiltro’s patented worm powered wastewater system catalyzes the digestive power of worms and microbes to remove 70 – 99% of total nitrogen, phosphorus, ammonia, and total volatile solids from liquid manure. Our systems are designed to receive water as soon as it is discharged from the facility and, through a continuous intermittent batch process, we irrigate our systems for 2-5 minutes every thirty minutes and, within 4 hours, treated water flows out.

After years of third party research at dairies it was found that when BioFiltro is installed upstream of anaerobic lagoons we prevent solids and nutrients from arriving to the lagoon and thus prevent the formation of methane and other green house gases from occurring. As such, our system enables farmers to optimize nutrient management, reduce your land application area, increase range of crops, switch irrigation methods, decrease consumption of fresh water, and increase your herd size while generating up to 7 carbon credits per milking head per year.

In 2020, the greenhouse gas emission reduction impact of our dairy liquid manure system at Royal Dairy in Royal City, Washington was registered on Verra’s Verified Carbon Standard. As such, the carbon credits generated through our system were able to be sold to a global CPG company as part of that Company’s pledge to lower their dairy carbon footprint.
