| Q |
I
am interested in your Biofeed animal feed system, but I am not sure
it suits our needs. |
|
Please
provide the details in the questionnaire,
and we will advise you if our system is what you need. |
| Q |
We
are a Municipality, and we are not interested in building and operating
a plant. We simply want to dispose of waste in a safe and cost effective
manner. |
|
|
Please contact
us. We are in constant touch with investors who may be interested
in investing in your area and building the plant as a commercial venture.
Your Municipality would simply have to deliver the waste to the plant. |
| Q |
Our
Municipality wants to build a processing plant, but we do not have
the capital. |
|
|
Please contact
us. We will assist with arranging suitable finance, including
assistance with the preparation of feasibilities, business plans,
etc. |
| Q |
With
the Bio Culture system why isn't the waste taken directly from the
garbage trucks into the sorting process without storing it first? |
|
|
The
Bio Culture system ensures that the fertiliser produced by the process
is consistent in quality. The total system contributes to that consistency,
and an important part of that is the blending. By dumping the garbage
as it arrives it is possible to blend the waste, to ensure that if
there is waste with an unusual high content of, say, carbon [e.g.
, rice straw, ] it is not processed before it is blended with waste
with less carbon, but higher in other nutrients.
This ensures that the end product's quality is always consistent. |
| Q |
Why
is the inorganic matter separated by hand rather than by machinery? |
|
There
is no machinery made in the world that can take out all inorganic
matter from organic waste. In systems that shred and grind the waste
prior to composting it becomes necessary to have workers physically
check the waste prior to grinding to avoid costly grinder repairs
if a piece of metal gets through the separation process.
The Bio Culture system recognises that there are no automated separation
systems that are efficient enough to eliminate manual workers checking
the waste, and instead eliminates the automated system, and leaves
it to workers to separate.
This saves a very large expenditure on machinery which is deficient
in its purpose.
The Bio Culture process includes a number of separation stages, including
manual operators, vibrating screens, metal detectors, magnets, and
a quality control team, to ensure that the processed waste consists
solely of organic matter. .
The Bio Culture system is clearly the best balance of efficiency,
cost effectiveness, and produces a quality product. |
| Q |
Is
the client bound to enter into an ongoing contract with Bio Culture
to provide additives for the life of the plant? |
|
No.
Bio Culture will provide as part of the transfer of technology all
formulas and additive requirements, and the client is free to access
them at the most competitive price available. |
| Q |
Who
owns the processing plant once its operating? |
|
The
client. Bio Culture is simply the provider of the technology, the
design and blue print of the plant, all project management and supervision
during construction, training of key personnel, and commissioning
of the plant.
On completion, once the plant is operating, and personnel are trained
in the operation, Bio Culture has completed its obligations, and leaves,
the same as a contractor of an office tower would do on completion. |
| Q |
Does Bio Culture have exclusivity on importing
the plant and equipment? |
|
|
The
Bio Culture system is the only system where over 70% of the plant
and equipment can almost always be sourced in the country where the
client is located. The client is given the option to source its own
plant at prices cheaper than the amount allowed in the contract, subject
to compliance with Bio Culture's design and specification. This way
the client can sometimes make substantial savings on the contract
amount. |
| Q |
Is
the animal feed a safe product? |
|
The Biofeed
system puts the waste mixture through a comprehensive sorting and
pasteurising process that renders it as safe as any commercial feed
in the world. There are very few commercial animal feed manufacturing
processes with the same emphasis on safety as the Biofeed system.
The plant includes an onsite laboratory that carries out constant
quality and safety checks throughout the manufacturing process.
|
| Q |
What
type of animal feed is produced from waste? |
|
Any type the
plant owner decides on. The waste mixture provides a safe base raw
material comprising of many of the proteins and nutrients necessary
for all feed stocks. Depending on marketing and customer needs the
plant owner can add the required nutritional additives, food colouring
and flavour to produce the required feed. |
