Animal agriculture produces five to ten times more nutrient waste than human systems. This waste drives health issues, air-quality problems, and lost performance. Managing these nutrients has long been an expensive burden.
We accelerate natural processes to treat excess nutrients in animal waste streams – improving animal productivity and health, reducing operating costs, and enabling water reuse on farms. Cleaner water increases farm profits!
Pancopia develops technologies that support Earth’s essential environmental cycles: water, nitrogen, carbon, and phosphorus — each at different stages of research and deployment. Our work began in space, and today it helps agriculture turn waste into value in the places where impact matters most.
Our patented, field-deployable system, FreshFlush, stabilizes nitrogen in farms using lagoons. FreshFlush™ helps farms cut losses by lowering mortality, improving in-barn air quality, and unlocking efficient water reuse. We help make your lagoon a valuable asset by providing cleaner flush water that improves the barn environment and balances nutrients for agricultural irrigation of cash crops.
Our technology currently in research polishes recycled barn water for non-potable reuse, reducing the need for freshwater while improving barn efficiency. Recycled water can support flushing, spray-down, and misting. Drinking-water reuse is a long-term goal supported by NASA-backed research.
Our phosphorus-removal process currently in research captures excess phosphorus from recirculating aquaculture systems, improving water stability and operational efficiency.
Pancopia’s technology began with NASA’s life-support systems for water and nutrient recycling.
But there are only so many toilets in space. Our biggest environmental opportunity is here on Earth, where our same technologies now help animal agriculture recover resources profitably — in a sector that produces five to ten times more nutrient waste than human systems.
