In Iowa it is case by case (and many times component by component) as to whether an item qualifies or not for the exemption. The only real way to know is to present the idea and project to the Department of Revenue. They tend to interpret the Statute literally and narrowly.
My gut says that since this produces a commercially salable product and handles waste treatment, the entire Bio Art would not be tax exempt.
