Nutrient Management Technologies for Animal Feeding Operations
FPPC issues this RFP for animal waste treatment projects and for innovative technology systems that will result in a 75 percent or greater removal or redistribution of nutrients in waste streams discharged from AFOs. Examples of innovative technologies include but are not limited to one or more of the following:
Solid separation equipment and/or drying systems
Settling basins and lagoon treatment systems
Chemical and microbial additions
Nitrification and de-nitrification systems
Pyrolysis and gasification systems that provide significant removal and reuse of nutrients (phosphorus, nitrogen and potassium)
Systems that develop value for the manure solids
Waste water treatment systems that are integrated with best management practices (i.e., buffer strips, wetlands and tree farming)
Systems/technologies that result in significant reuse or savings of water; and/or systems/technologies that result in conservation of land through the reduction of nutrient concentration
Other innovative technologies that may be determined to be appropriate
