• Renewable energy for the generation of electricity and process heat



• Improved nutrient application control, because up to 70 percent of the nitrogen in the waste is converted to ammonia, the primary nitrogen constituent of fertilizer



• Reduced pathogens, viruses, protozoa and other disease-causing organisms in lagoon water, resulting in improved herd health and possible reduced water requirements



• Reduced risk of water contamination through the reduction in the biological oxygen demand of treated effluent by up to 90 percent



• Odor reduction
