\u2014 Launching a New Project to Address Odor Pollution Caused by Livestock Manure and Incomplete Composting \u2014<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

JET Corporation (Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo), the developer and manufacturer of the ERS \u2013 Rapid Fermentation & Deodorization Resource System<\/strong>,
has confirmed sustained deodorization effects in soils where liquid fertilizer and bedding material derived from livestock manure were applied.
The verification was conducted at partner sites such as Beru-chan-tachi no Ouchi Co., Ltd. (Shimonoseki City, Yamaguchi Prefecture)<\/strong>
and Top Farm Co., Ltd. (Saroma Town, Tokoro District, Hokkaido)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Furthermore, by fermenting odor-contaminated soil itself with ERS and returning it to the land,
similar deodorization results were achieved.
Building on these findings, JET launched a new business initiative in November 2023<\/strong>
to offer ERS-based land improvement solutions to local governments<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Introduction | The Link Between Odor and Land Value<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Livestock manure, when properly managed and fermented, can be utilized as valuable agricultural resources such as compost or soil conditioners.
However, in regions with high livestock density, repeated application of insufficiently fermented manure<\/strong> has led to serious odor problems.
These odors affect not only farmworkers and local residents but also tourists unfamiliar with such environments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, as foreign investment and tourism increase, persistent odor pollution can prevent rural regions from realizing higher land values,
ultimately reducing farmers\u2019 potential income.
To address this issue, it is essential to remove odor sources directly from the soil and maintain long-term deodorization effects with minimal labor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Demonstration \u2460 | Beru-chan-tachi no Ouchi Co., Ltd. \u2013 Liquid Fertilizer Results<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Installed in March 2023<\/strong>, Beru-chan-tachi no Ouchi Co., Ltd. uses ERS to convert dairy cow manure into odorless liquid fertilizer<\/strong>.
In response to declining milk demand, the company introduced ERS to diversify outputs\u2014
not only compost and bedding, but also liquid fertilizer, reducing fuel use and overall operating costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After seven months of continuous operation<\/strong>, in October 2023<\/strong>,
the facility achieved the planned processing targets and confirmed the complete elimination of odors.
The deodorization effects were sustained even inside the composting facility.
The company now plans to sell its liquid fertilizer externally in addition to on-site use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Top Farm Co., Ltd., which practices circular agriculture emphasizing animal welfare<\/strong>,
installed ERS in March 2022<\/strong> to process beef cattle manure into bedding material<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company highlights that \u201cenvironmental investment has become a key factor in consumers\u2019 purchasing decisions
as corporate contributions to sustainability gain attention.\u201d
By fermenting and drying manure, Top Farm reuses the material as bedding and compost,
and distributes it to neighboring farms as a fertilizer resource.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Odor, once considered unavoidable in cattle barns, has been eliminated\u2014
creating a comfortable environment for both animals and visitors.
After 19 months of operation<\/strong>, the facility confirmed consistent odor-free results and lasting deodorization.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Technology | Sustained Deodorization with Beneficial Microorganisms<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

JET\u2019s ERS (Rapid Fermentation & Deodorization Resource System)<\/strong> performs aerobic microbial fermentation<\/strong>
to decompose odor-causing substances within just a few hours in a sealed chamber.
While conventional manure composting may take several months, ERS converts manure into odorless fertilizer or bedding<\/strong> in a single day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The system not only deodorizes livestock facilities but also improves soil when ERS-treated compost is applied.
Even odor-contaminated soil<\/strong> can be fermented using ERS and returned to the field,
where the resident microorganisms continue to work without replenishment or replacement<\/strong>,
providing long-lasting deodorization effects<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Five Key Benefits of ERS Outputs<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  1. Aerobic Fermentation<\/strong> \u2013 Produces soil-friendly fertilizer favored by farmers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. Wastewater Reduction<\/strong> \u2013 Microbial fermentation heat evaporates moisture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Odor Suppression<\/strong> \u2013 Fermented, sterilized outputs prevent odor in composting facilities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. Shorter Processing Time<\/strong> \u2013 Significantly reduces methane generation and composting period.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  5. Lower Greenhouse Gas Emissions<\/strong> \u2013 Rapid fermentation minimizes CO\u2082-derived methane release.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    \n\n\n\n

    5. Outlook | Toward Mobile ERS Units<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

    JET plans to develop mobile ERS systems<\/strong>, enabling on-site deodorization where odor issues already exist.
    By bringing ERS directly to polluted locations\u2014ponds, rivers, or landfill sites\u2014
    JET will expand its capability to address regional environmental challenges more flexibly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The company remains committed to converting diverse organic wastes\u2014
    including household garbage, diapers, sludge, livestock manure, vegetable residues, food waste,
    construction debris, and pruning branches\u2014into valuable local resources,
    maximizing environmental efficiency and contributing to the realization of a circular society<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
