Symbiosis
“A
close partnership of organisms of different species used to benefit each other
in their vital development.”
At Ficosterra, we understand that the
symbiosis between crops and the environment is the basis of modern agriculture.
For this reason, we have developed microbial complexes with algae that
significantly increase the ability of organic waste to change into assets of
high agronomic value.
Agro Composting
Thanks to the combination of algae and
microorganisms, the ficosterra technology is able to:
- Accelerate the digestion of
organic matter
- Stabilize the fermentation process
- Eliminate putrefaction processes
- Eliminate the bad smells generated
during any unexpected composting
- Improve the quality of wastewater
by metabolizing the excess nutrients and therefore obtaining healthier
conditions
- Accelerate the denitrification
process in wastewater treatment
The microorganisms are responsible for
metabolizing organic matter into a new source of energy and food, accelerating
its digestion, and preventing the generation of harmful gases.
Once applied to agricultural and livestock
debris, a very high quality of compost is obtained because the product creates
a large population of regenerating microorganisms whose function is to
stabilize the soil’s microbiota.
Thanks to this technique of composting, the
optimal use of organic matter and the circle of the symbiosis of agriculture
are achieved sustainably.
Therefore, the Circular Economy in agriculture
provides a path with new economical and effective solutions that improve the
productivity of crops in a sustainable way.
Sewage Treatment
The use of ficos technology in wastewater
treatment allows the regeneration of the debris as well as the optimization of
operative costs of the WWTP. Its benefits are clear:
- Deodorization
- Reduction of oxidative processes
- Increase in biodegradability and
reduction of aeration costs
- Biological stabilization of sewage
sludge
Business and Public Administration Consulting Services
Ficosterra is a Spanish biotechnology company
that develops products, services, and solutions to improve agriculture and to
fix contaminated environments, soils, and waters.
Our background and philosophy are based on the principles of the Circular Economy. We have a department that studies and develops comprehensive waste management plans and advises companies and institutions in their transition processes from the linear economic model to a Circular Economy model, where the traditional idea of ”extract, manufacture, use, and throw away” it is replaced by the one of “reuse, repair, renew, and recycling,” thus imitating nature, in which everything is used for the sake of achieving a sustainable, efficient, and much more competitively economic use of resources.
