FuelCal technology is designed to process organic waste into an organic matter which can be used in organic and mineral OrCal® fertilisers, in compliance with the P.400268 patent application entitled ”Fertiliser with a controlled ratio of nutrient release during the course of the applied fertilisation period, as well as a method of controlled nutrient release fertiliser production”. The main organic raw materials are: sludge from municipal waste treatment as well as sludge from agricultural and food production plants, animal and plant waste, live-stock excrement (including birds› excrement), catering waste, and expired (unutilised) marketed food. The technological reagent and the fertiliser material is quicklime (CaO), which reacts with water and turns into calcium hydroxide Ca(OH)2 quickly increasing the temperature and alkalinity of the environment. Processing biological waste into useful fertiliser is a waste-free technology. Installing it at the source (place) of waste generation results in the removal of such waste source, therefore the existing production process becomes waste-free.
