Stronger farms. Profitable environmental impact.

Pancopia uses accelerated natural processes to recover water and nutrients for animal agriculture — helping farms unlock the value inside their largest waste streams.

Where value drives impact

Waste from swine and aquaculture systems carries valuable water and recoverable nutrients — but most of it is lost. Recovery efforts often fail because they ignore one simple truth: for a solution to survive, it has to create value.

Profit simply means we’re recovering something that’s actually usable. When water can be reused and nutrients can be captured in a way that pays for itself, environmental impact becomes practical, scalable, and inevitable.

Our solutions balance the elements that sustain life.

Pancopia’s systems address the four environmental cycles that matter most to animal agriculture — water, nitrogen, carbon, and phosphorus. FreshFlush is our first deployable system, while our other technologies are in various stages of research and validation.

Controlling these four cycles means controlling the resources that drive farm performance.

Our Science

How our system works

Our technology aims to capture, convert, recover, and reuse valuable water and nutrients — closing the loop in animal agriculture.

1.

Capture

Our systems treat nutrient-rich water directly at the source, using accelerated natural processes to capture nitrogen and phosphorus, and stabilize carbon.

2.

Convert

Natural microbial activity converts nutrients into stable forms that can be recovered or reused — without engineered organisms or chemical additives.

3.

Recover

Recovered nutrients and treated water are separated for reuse in swine operations, downstream treatment steps, and beneficial land applications.

4.

Reuse

Recycled water supports flushwater, spray-down, misting, and other non-potable uses — reducing freshwater demand and improving barn efficiency.

Our Solutions

Multiple solutions, one mission

Our technologies are working to close the loop on water, carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus — the building blocks of life and agriculture.

Flush Water Treatment for Swine - FreshFlush

FreshFlush uses accelerated natural processes to remove excess ammonia before it enters the barns. The result is better air quality, healthier pigs, lower mortality, and stronger production across every cycle. FreshFlush turns flushwater into an asset that improves daily weight gain, reduces emissions, and increases farm profitability.

Barn Water Recycling for Swine

Our technology currently in research uses accelerated natural processes to recover water and nutrients from lagoon effluent and produce reliable non-potable reuse water for flushing, spray-down, and misting. This system reduces ammonia load, stabilizes barn conditions, and prepares farms for future nutrient-reuse opportunities.

Phosphorus recovery

Improved water stability

Operational efficiency

Phosphorus Recovery for Aquaculture

Pancopia’s phosphorus-recovery process currently in research removes excess phosphorus from recirculating aquaculture systems (RAS). By capturing phosphorus before discharge, producers reduce cost and recover a usable nutrient resource — improving water quality and operational efficiency in a way that could be ported over to other animal systems such as swine in the future.

Energy-efficient

No chemical additives

Compact footprint

Our Values

What makes Pancopia different?
