FEATURED PROJECT
CITY OF NORMAN, OKLAHOMA WATER TREATMENT RECLAMATION FACILITY
The City of Norman & BioStar Renewables have achieved interconnection and are producing renewable electricity at the city’s new solar project which serves the Vernon Campbell Water Treatment Plant and Water Reclamation Facility in Norman, Oklahoma. The 2.27 MW solar project is expected to produce more than 3,000,000 kWh of electricity each year and will displace over 2,126 metric tons of CO2 equivalent emissions per year, the equivalent of providing 438 homes with electricity or 271,000 gallons of gasoline consumed for an entire year. The clean energy generated by the solar arrays will reduce the annual kWh required from the local utility company by approximately 30%.

WHAT WE DO
BioStar uses a century old process called anaerobic digestion to break down the waste in the absence of air. Stored in a large tank or a lagoon, the bacteria in the organic material decomposes and splits apart the organic solids. The primary by-products of the process, ammonia and methane, are captured by BioStar. This methane based biogas, or Renewable Natural Gas, can be used as a drop in fuel (gas) or turned into electricity using generators via a process called Combined Heat and Power.
Our largest plant to date is diverting 85,000 gallons / day of organic food waste from landfills in California. See the featured project below to learn more.
While these projects have tremendous benefits, there is typically still a significant amount of wastewater coming out of the backend of the digester. This is our secret sauce: BioStar’s patented process turns the remaining wastewater into clean, potable water, as well as our patented, SuperSix™ Organic Liquid Fertilizer. For more information, please visit our Organic Fertilizer page.
ENTIRE CIRCULAR CLOSED-LOOP SYSTEM WITH NO WASTED PRODUCTS
WHY IT'S IMPORTANT
Addressing waste on both a national and global level will be one of the greatest challenges of the next 100-years and BioStar is addressing the issue head on, developing modern day, circular energy plants that leave zero waste behind. Our team of researchers continues experimenting with co-digestion of various feedstocks such as animal manure, food waste, distilled grains and others to better understand the potential for regional solutions that enable landfill diversion for a variety of different industries.

- Helps to meet increased demand for organic food production
HOW WE DO IT
BioStar’s patented technologies include the concentration of nitrogen into a liquid fertilizer product derived from the effluent waste of the anaerobic digestion process. As the effluent waste comes out of the backend of the digester, BioStar’s proprietary process turns 100% of remaining waste effluent into:
• SuperSix™ Organic Fertilizer
• Clean Water
• Compostable Fiber
WHY IT'S IMPORTANT
SOIL HEALTH
Soils are the foundation of both natural and agricultural systems, and therefore soil health of foundational importance for life on our planet. Healthy soils are more efficient at holding and releasing water, nutrients, and allowing for optimal crop production while reducing heavy carbon footprint inputs.
BioStar’s technology allows for better usage and recycling of nutrients from manures that when overapplied can damage soil health.
The use of SuperSix™ fertilizers as part of a complete fertility plan in Organic Agriculture can help to encourage and foster healthy and productive soils and grow healthy and productive crops.
The combination of reductions in practices that can be damaging to soil health and an increase in practices that foster soil health put BioStar on the leading edge of practical solutions to soil health issues in agriculture today.
MEETING DEMAND FOR ORGANIC FOOD
The global population continues to rise and there is more demand than ever for sustainability in agriculture. Our products help farmers gain efficiencies and ultimately, grow more of their crop. Sales of organic produce rose 14.2% in 2020, compared to 10.7% for conventional produce. (FoodDive / Organic Produce Network)
