This invention discloses systems and methods for conversion of
manure to novel
fertilizer and / or soil builder products useful as input for
organic farming operations. The equipment systems comprise a gas
turbine generator unit (preferred heat source), a dryer vessel and a
processing unit, wherein the connection between the gas
turbine and the dryer vessel directs substantially all the gas
turbine exhaust into the dryer vessel and substantially precludes the introduction of air into the dryer vessel. The dryer vessel receives the
manure for contact with the turbine exhaust gases to convert the
manure to a dry material, which is passed to the
processing unit where it is formed into granules,
pellets or other desired form for the final dry
fertilizer product. The method comprises
drying, heating and converting the manure to form novel self binding
fertilizer and soil builder type products for
organic farming and other uses.
