GRRO Enters into agreement with fppc to form new joint venture to
supply nutrient management in all animal feeding operations
Eldora, Iowa – January 9, 2006
Global Resource Recovery Organization, Inc. (GRRO) is pleased to
announce that it has entered into a formal agreement with Farm Pilot
Coordination, Inc. (FPPC) in conjunction with the United States
Department of Agriculture’s National Resources Conservation Service
(“NRCS”) to form a new Joint Venture company to commercialize the GRRO
Tempest Dying Technology in all Animal Feeding Operations (AFO) in
North America.
The new joint venture will be a Florida Limited Liability company with
all of its operations located in Eldora, IA. The first project in
swine manure is well underway and will be located in Hardin
County. A new 2400 Head Swine confinement will be built using
state-of-the art technologies that will capture at least 75% of the
nutrients from the AFO and eliminate all liquid manure on a daily
basis. There will be no on site long term storage of liquid
manure with this new process. Daily production of manure is
gathered and processed with the end product being an easily handled dry
fertilizer product that can be stored and used when needed by the
farmer.
Farm Pilot Project Coordination, Inc. (FPPC), a non-profit
organization, was designated by Congress (Public Law 107-76) to assist
in implementing innovative treatment technologies to address the
growing waste issues associated with animal feeding operations (AFOs).
FPPC’s objective is to foster the conservation, development and wise
use of land, water, and related resources, while providing AFOs with
opportunities for profitable operation.
Significant progress has been made with the FPPC Program. To date,
fourteen (14) Pilot Projects have been selected covering innovative
technologies for poultry, dairy, swine and composting Operations in
seven (7) states including: North Carolina, Florida, Alabama, Texas,
Colorado, Utah and Iowa. These Pilot Projects are in various stages of
development, implementation and operation while six (6) project
demonstrations are nearing completion.
FPPC’s specific mandate is to oversee the implementation and
administration of a Pilot Project Program to demonstrate economically
viable innovative treatment technology systems that reduce the nutrient
content of the waste stream from AFOs by 75 percent or greater. Funding
for approved Pilot Projects comes from monies appropriated by Congress
and overseen by the Natural Resource Conservation Service (NRCS), a
division of the United States Department of Agriculture.
The new Joint Venture company will take the work funded by the FPPC
program to a new level by combining the business resources of the FPPC
with the innovative technology from GRRO. The Joint Venture
company will take the GRRO Drying technology to all Animal Feeding
Operations starting with the following: Swine, Cattle, Chicken,
and Turkey.
Founded in 1999, GRRO is an Iowa based environmental solutions
company that develops and markets cyclonic air drying
technologies. The new cyclonic drying products provide cost
effective solutions for waste disposal.
