Thrust 3

Modular Fertilizer Production & Delivery

Thrust 3 develops catalytic technologies to synthesize NBFs and PBFs from recovered and alternative resources using distributed, modular reactors powered with electricity​. 

​

Thrust 3 objectives are:

• Focus on waste conversion, catalysis toward fertilizers ​

• Focus on material properties for next generation of catalyst for NBF production while optimizing PBF​

• Focus on catalytic routes to convert organic waste, “sludge” into chemicals of value without compromising the production of NBF and/or PBF​

• Focus on catalytic strategies to selectively convert impurities that affect separations technologies in T2​

• Focus on delivering different formulations of fertilizer (blends, granular, transportation) combined with T2​

• Focus on evaluation of fertilizer formulations delivered from T3 in the soil chemistry/ plant growth​

• Focus on protocols to evaluate durability of materials for T3 technologies​

• Focus on approaches for storage and transportation of fertilizers ​

• Focus on fertilizer formulations and blending that deliver products in granular form​
