Closed-Loop Operations

Valorization and Products

Every kilogram of organic residuals is mapped, conditioned, and transformed through a 14-day program that yields nutrient-dense larvae and biologically active frass. Our modular units pair precise bioconversion with real-time analytics to guarantee repeatable outcomes.

Traceable • Biosecure • Data-Driven

Stage by Stage

From Residual to Revenue

The valorization line combines intuitive operator tasks with automated controls. Each stage is tracked through our production console, ensuring HACCP, biosafety, and performance metrics are captured.

1. Intake & Profiling

Incoming organics are scanned, weighed, and assigned a nutrient profile before entering the clean zone.

  • Digital manifests & generator analytics
  • Rapid moisture + pH testing
  • Foreign material removal and documentation

2. Pre-Processing

Feedstocks are milled, blended, or pasteurized to align with larvae dietary targets.

  • Particle size reduction & homogenization
  • Thermal kill steps for risk materials
  • Batching for optimal C:N ratios

3. Inoculation & Ramp-Up

Starter larvae populations are paired with conditioned feed in sealed rearing trays.

  • Automated larvae dosing per tray
  • Lot tracking with QR-coded inventory
  • Early-life density monitoring

4. Growth & Stewardship

Climate-controlled racks keep larvae within optimal humidity, airflow, and thermal bands.

  • IoT sensors for temperature, CO₂, NH₃ and VOCs
  • Automated misting & aeration schedules
  • Benchmarks for feed conversion and weight gain

5. Harvest & Separation

Larvae are separated from frass using vibration screens and density sorting.

  • Humane cold-stunning before processing
  • Fractionating juvenile larvae for seed stock
  • Inline moisture adjustment for both outputs

6. Finishing & Packaging

Outputs are stabilized to meet product specifications and packaged with full traceability.

  • Drying, pressing, or pelletizing modules
  • Lot-coded labelling and palletization
  • QA release tied to retain samples

Process Governance

Controls That Protect Every Batch

Our operating system integrates with on-unit PLCs and handheld devices to surface real-time alerts. Operators follow digital SOPs with photo verification while supervisors receive compliance dashboards. The result is a consistent, auditable process that satisfies feed, fertilizer, and environmental regulators.

Lot-linked lab results tied to moisture, protein, lipid, and pathogen screens
Automated sanitation prompts triggered between feedstock class changes
Biosecurity zoning with badge-controlled access and airflow segregation
Predictive maintenance alerts for grinders, conveyors, and HVAC assets

Production Rhythm

Fourteen-Day Valorization Timeline

Day 0

Feedstock Certification

Approved organics dispatched from partner sites and staged inside the conditioned inbound bay.

Days 1-3

Conditioning + Inoculation

Blended diets paired with neonate larvae; densitometry and moisture calibrations logged.

Days 4-9

Accelerated Growth

Larvae reach peak feed conversion; climate data automatically recorded every 15 minutes.

Days 10-11

Harvest Preparation

Bins rotated for final purging; feed withheld for 18 hours to enhance gut clearance.

Days 12-13

Separation & Finishing

Larvae separated, chilled, and directed to oil pressing or meal drying; frass is screened and equilibrated.

Day 14

QA Release & Dispatch

Lot certificates issued, inventory synced with ERP, and logistics bookings triggered.

Outputs

By-Products & Saleable Fractions

The valorization program is designed to produce multiple, traceable product streams—feed ingredients, soil inputs, and specialty fractions. Each output is stabilized and documented for its target market.

Defatted Protein Meal

High-protein, low-fat ingredient with a balanced amino acid profile and excellent digestibility.

  • Crude protein 58-62% with <5% ash
  • Ideal for poultry, aquaculture, and swine formulations
  • Pathogen testing and lot-linked documentation

Whole Dried Larvae

Slow-dried to preserve lipids and lauric acid for poultry, reptiles, and specialty feed applications.

  • Natural calcium-to-phosphorus ratio of 2.7:1
  • Packaging options from retail-ready to bulk formats
  • Optional probiotic coatings for premium SKUs

Larval Lipid Concentrate

Clarified insect oil rich in lauric (C12) and myristic (C14) acids with antimicrobial properties.

  • Cold-pressed and triple-filtered
  • Applications in feed, cosmetics, and industrial biolubes
  • Oxidation index targets with stabilization options

Frass Soil Amendments

Microbial-rich fertilizer containing chitin, beneficial microbes, and plant-available nutrients.

  • Guaranteed NPK programs with micronutrient support
  • Carrier options: crumbles, pellets, or biochar blends
  • Organic input pathways available by formulation

Chitin & Frass Extracts

Fractionated biostimulant compounds for foliar sprays and seed treatments.

  • Water-extracted polysaccharides with consistent molecular weight
  • Supports induced systemic resistance in row crops
  • Compatible with fertigation and drip systems

Digestate Tea Concentrate

Liquid concentrate derived from frass steeping for greenhouse and hydroponic operations.

  • High microbial counts with shelf-stable formulations
  • Carbohydrate-microbe pairing boosts rhizosphere health
