The
PROTECTOR project’s 18 months key achievements between
March 1 2005 – September 1, 2006:
DEVELOPMENT
OF RECYCLING/UPGRADING STRATEGY for organic waste streams
from the food industry, incl. food industrial organic waste
material and processing characterization.
SELECTION
OF NINE BEST P MOBIZATION AND BIOCONTROL STRAINS. Pre- tests
in vitro, in vivo and plant cultivations in different soil and
climatic coditions.
PERMIT
AND DOSSIER PREPARATION: design of targeted ecotoxicological
test strategy for the risk assessment of the materials. Set-up
of cooperation programmes with German and Hungarian agro
biocontrol substance permitting Authorities.
DEVELOPMENT
OF HIGH-TEMPERATURE CARBONIZATION PROCESS OF BONE MATERIAL:
development of innovative methodology and apparatus for the
thermal treatment and specific surface modification of animal
bone charcoal. Scale up to industrial performance,
pre-engineering design up to 10k t/year/unit output made.
Reference field demonstration with production capacity of 500
t/year implemented and in operation in Hungary.
DEVELOPMENT
OF INNOVATIVE ADJUSTABLE AIR SELECTOR innovative technology
for bone meal and bone char solid product screening. Scale up to
industrial performance implemented.
DEVELOPMENT
OF SOLID-STATE FERMENTATION AND FORMULATION innovative
technology. Solid and liquid fermentation scale up to industrial
performance implemented.
DEVELOPMENT
OF SCIENTIFIC, LEGAL AND ECONOMICAL DATABASE INFORMATION
INTRANET.
INTERNATIONAL
MARKET AND ECONOMICAL EVALUATION for utilization of the end
products, with special consideration to the EU25 and the USA.
International legal evaluation. Preparation of consumer and
retailer acceptance evaluation. Preparation of cost benefit and
SWOT analysis at 1000 t/year output production level.
The
PROTECTOR project’s 24 months key achievements: until
February 28, 2007:
DEVELOPMENT
AND OPTIMIZATION OF INNOVATIVE SOLID SUBSTRATE FERMENTATION AND
FORMULATION (SSFF) TECHNOLOGY:
SSFF
process modeling, laboratory scale optimization of SSFF process
made (<5 kg/batch) and test material was produced.
Pilot
scale process optimization of SSFF process made (400 kg/batch)
Pilot
scale “product like” SSFF engineering designed,
equipment manufactured and installed.
Combined
installation of thermal process of solid carrier carbonization
and biotechnological process of SSFF is prepared for united
mechanical and process control built together.
Full
scale automated SSFF engineering pre-designed for industrial
production.
SELECTION
OF NINE BEST P MOBIZATION AND BIOCONTROL STRAINS: Two
best strains of Trichoderma harzianum fungus and four
alternative bacterial best strains have been selected during
year two of the project.
The
PROTECTOR project’s 24 months key achievements: until
February 28, 2008:
Manufacturing
of ABC carrier and ABC formulated substance: During
the past three years 40 sampling protocols made and 1270 kg
ABC/ABC-formulated substance samples has been shipped to the
partners and used by TERRA for SSFF optimization test and for
validation in greenhouse test.
Mathematical
description of dissolution kinetics of PROTECTOR. Predictions
and process level explanations of agronomic effectiveness of
PROTECTOR
Data
sets on reactions and turnover of SOM fractions following
PROTECTOR application
Data
sets on the ability of AMF to transfer P from soil/PROTECTOR to
plants.
The
PROTECTOR project’s final achievements:
Development
of a family of novel biocontrol products; specifically, all pure
solid carriers with high P content which, upon application,
result in value-added and quality food production.
Development
of novel field scale production technology to manufacture
biocontrol agents with natural P nutrient performance.
Development
of novel field application scenarios and best practices which
are rooted in agricultural cultivation traditions (no exotic
materials and methods used). The prevention, protection and
preservation approaches are aimed at environmentally friendly
and healthy food production in the low input vegetable sector
where the substitution of chemicals and high Cd P fertilizers
are key principles.
Increasing
agricultural productivity and economic growth.
Management
of extensive dissemination programs is scheduled in seven EU
countries and in the USA.
The
3R PROTECTOR solid carrier manufacturing, surface modification
and the solid-state fermentation and formulation biotechnology,
method and apparatus, are protected by patents and intellectual
property rights.
