$BNET ~ Water Treatment

U.S. clean water costs – $114 billion in 2010 – are escalating while overall water quality continues to decline. Excess nutrients – nitrogen and phosphorus – cause toxic algal blooms and dead zones that the EPA now calls one of the greatest water quality problems in the U.S. today. Livestock production is recognized as one of the largest sources of excess nutrients in most major watersheds; Bion’s direct treatment of livestock waste can provide large-scale nutrient reductions at significantly lower cost than current agricultural and downstream treatment strategies. Bion’s platform also provides dramatic reductions of greenhouse gas and ammonia emissions, as well as pathogens in the waste stream that have been linked to food-borne illness and antibiotic resistance.

The re-allocation of significantly more funding to non-point source pollution sources, particularly agriculture, is inevitable if we are to maintain the integrity of the environment and our water resources. Policies are now changing to support market-based strategies that engage the private sector to provide lower cost solutions. National livestock interests, including National Milk Producers Federation, Land O’Lakes, JBS (the largest beef/pork producer in the world) and others have recently joined Bion in support of such a strategy.

Bion’s proven solution and deep understanding of the issues positions the company to succeed as this opportunity, which is poised to receive billions in federal, state, local and private funding, continues to unfold.
