JEA is now transforming biosolids, a product of the sewage treatment process, into a fertilizer for home lawns, golf courses, ball parks and other turfgrass and ornamental applications.
JEA is partnering with GreenTechnologies and is producing the fertilizer utilizing GreenTechnologies' patent pending process. The new process transforms up to 11,000 tons of biosolids per year into a premium slow-release organic fertilizer product. By slowly releasing nutrients like nitrogen and phosphorus into the soil, less of the nutrients are washed into our waterways. Slow release fertilizer protects our River and the many plants and animals that depend upon it for survival.
JEA constantly seeks technological solutions that improve the environmental performance of its processes.
"The number one reason people should use this fertilizer is that it is environmentally friendly and produces high quality turfgrass, ornamental plants and trees," said Dr. Amir Varshovi, president of GreenTechnologies. Dr. Varshovi has a doctorate in soil and water science and turfgrass nutrition from the University of Florida.
The new product is marketed as GreenEdgeŽ, a complete, slow-release organic fertilizer that supplies essential nutrients for turfgrass and plant growth and health. Initially GreenEdgeŽ will be targeted mainly to golf courses, ball parks, and recreational parks. GreenTechnologies now has GreenEdgeŽ available to professional green industries as well as homeowners. Home owners can find GreenEdgeŽ in their local retail stores such as ACE Hardware and Garden Centers. Commercial users may contact GreenTechnologies directly.
GreenTechnologies, Inc. is a technology and marketing company which develops, produces and markets technologies and products for turfgrass and plant nutrition.
