<\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>THE PROCESS<\/h2><\/div>The process comprises two steps: plasma treatment and absorption.<\/p>\n
Step 1: Plasma<\/strong> – Electricity is used to split the nitrogen (N2) – and oxygen (O2) molecules in air. The atomic nitrogen (N) and oxygen (O) then recombine and form a reactive nitrogen gas.<\/p>\nStep 2: Absorption<\/strong> – the reactive nitrogen gas is absorbed into the liquid phase of an organic material, e.g. livestock slurry or biogas digestate, and is converted to plant available nitrogen<\/p>\nThe reactive nitrogen both enriches the organic material with plant available nitrogen and stabilises the ammonium nitrogen, which reduces nitrogen losses. By inhibiting microbial activity, the plasma treatment also eliminates the formation of the potent greenhouse gas methane, and ensures that the organic carbon and nitrogen is not consumed during storage but makes it way to the field where it provides long-term soil health benefits.<\/p>\n
