In summary, air quality is affected as horse manure produces excessive methane (CH4) production from biodegradation, ammonia infiltration (NH3), attraction of insect disease vectors, airborne fecal contamination, and zoonotic transmission of bacterial and viral disease and odor. Water is affected by non-point contamination of (especially) surface water. Algae blooms in fresh and salt-water ecosystems have negatively impacted flora and fauna throughout Connecticut’s tributaries, estuaries and especially the Long Island Sound Basin bordered by our state and the Long Island Terminal Moraine., it is a worldwide problem. Eutrophication has caused hypoxic fish and shellfish kills with accompanying changes in pH adversely affecting recreational activities and the interstate fishing industries.
As biologists have widened their understanding of the chemical processes, which continue to threaten fragile ecosystems, phosphates and nitrogen compounds have been eliminated or restricted from use in many areas most susceptible to their effects. Consequently, an environmentally sound program of bioremediation, management, and recycling of these potentially harmful natural by-products is imperative to protect both public and private resources amidst an ever-expanding growth of human and animal populations.
Our innovative process helps to solve the problems regarding soil health, energy consumption, and air quality and non-point contamination of our waters.
Nutrient Management: Due to local, state, and federal statues being implemented, to clean both soil and ground water quality, this has created a mandated need to find a sustainable process to remove manure from the ecosystem. Without directly or indirectly affecting other areas which it would be moved to. Brickenmore’s patented process and products completely removes manure from a contamination area and returns it to our eco system as a clean bioheat source. This process allows for the complete removal of manure from small farms, backyard farms including large entities. Most of these farms store manure in such a manner that it allows for runoff, which contaminate soil and water resources and provides very little nutrient value to its surrounding area, with more adverse actions than benefits. By use of patented process which completely removes manure from such areas, in a timely fashion, it greatly reduces, if not eliminates, the possibilities of run off and unwanted contaminations to soil and ground water.
Brickenmore’s process and products are renewable, sustainable, and economical. They reduce carbon emissions and lower greenhouse gasses. Brickenmore® products eliminate waste entering landfills, providing for a longer life cycle of these landfills. They reduce the strain put on our forests from logging; reduce the need to take farmland currently used for food production which is switching to biomass stock and the resulting ash from burning our product returns carbon back onto the land.
Energy Conservation, with the use of Brickenmore® products as a heating source for homes, greenhouses and outdoor furnaces providing hot water or steam heat, the consumption of electricity, fossil fuels or the like is greatly diminished. Farms with greenhouses, by using Brickenmore® products as a main heating source, will at a minimum, cut their energy consumption in half. Brickenmore’s solution has a positive impact financially for energy consumers. This process creates a sustainable fuel, which is completely renewable and sustainable. Brickenmore’s patented process drastically reduces environmental contaminants, such as the carbon footprint, greenhouse gases and the PH balance in the waterways. Brickenmore® fuel greatly reduces the amount of carbon expelled into the air and soil by drastically reducing the amount of wood and wood byproducts that are burned in the world and reduces the need to destroy our forests.
