Technical principle:
Through the action of water molecules, components such as cellulose, hemicellulose, starch, lignin, fat and protein in organic matter are decomposed. Organic macromolecules are degraded into products with smaller molecular weight under the action of water molecules. At the same time, a large number of small molecules enter the liquid phase through mass transfer such as diffusion and become organic components and nutrients in the liquid.
Two systems:
Biomass gasification combustion energy supply system and industrial hydrothermal cracking fertilizer production system, both of which adopt Tsinghua's patented technology, and are equipped with intelligent control systems, intelligent operating systems with independent diagnosis, error correction and learning capabilities.

Industrial water thermal cracking method to prepare organic fertilizer technology
The original hydrothermal cracking method to prepare organic fertilizer production process is mainly to transport the tempered vegetable straw, vegetable and fruit waste, breeding manure, agricultural toilet manure and other planting and breeding wastes as organic materials to the hydrothermal cracking reactor respectively. Through the energy system energy supply, the material is hydrothermal cracking reaction and stabilized under the conditions of 180-250 °C and 1.5-2.45MPa (depending on the raw material situation). The whole process of fertilizing takes no more than 4 hours.
The process comprehensively kills bacteria, viruses and insect eggs, decomposes toxic and harmful substances such as antibiotic hormones, and can passivate some heavy metals, make the fertilizer structure small molecule, increase the content of absorbable organic matter, and promote the absorption and absorption of crops. After hydrothermal cracking, the organic materials are separated from solid and liquid, and safe and efficient organic solid fertilizer and liquid fertilizer are prepared respectively. The new process subverts the traditional fermentation and fertilization method, greatly improves production efficiency and product quality, and realizes mechanization, automation, standardization and intelligent production of fertilizer making process.

Eco-friendliness
Compost gas produces a significant greenhouse effect
No compost gas is generated, significantly reducing carbon emissions
Fertilizer efficiency
Composting at room temperature, fermentation takes 15-40 days, fertilization efficiency is low
High temperature curing, only 3-4 hours, high production efficiency
Fertilizer effectiveness
Different materials have different rotting conditions, it is difficult to mix and dispose of a variety of materials, and the rotting conditions are affected by climate and site, the operating conditions are unstable, and the product quality is uneven, which will cause crop growth obstacles
A variety of animal sources react simultaneously with plant sources, rapid decomposition and high stability, standardized production process makes fertilizer quality reliable, does not burn seedlings, fertilizer structure small molecular crops are easy to absorb; Fertilizer local crops to supplement nutrients in the soil; Trace elements and beneficial bacteria can be supplemented according to the needs of different crops

Principle
Under aerobic conditions, aerobic bacteria absorb, oxidize and decompose materials.
The material is stabilized under anaerobic conditions by the metabolic activity of microorganisms, accompanied by the production of methane and CO2.
Earthworms use their activities to break down organic waste into easy-to-use nutrients.
Organic fertilizer is produced by hydrolysis of raw materials at 180-250 °C and 1.5-2.45MPa (depending on the raw material) for 1-2.5 hours.

Comparison of carbon and nitrogen loss during aerobic composting of organic solid waste and industrial hydrothermal cracking
The traditional aerobic composting process is to put manure in the open air after 15-45 days of aerobic fermentation, nutrient and organic matter loss is large, resulting in a large amount of carbon emissions, is an important source of agricultural carbon emissions.
The hydrothermal cracking fertilizer process is to carry out hydrothermal cracking reaction of manure, vegetable straw and other materials in a closed facility, with very small carbon and nitrogen loss, and fully retained in the product as effective nutrients and organic matter.
