The residual ash can be used or sold for fertilizing
Because Nature's Furnace completely burns waste on-site, you save:
- Loading & Trucking expense and dumping fees
- Licensing, training and permit fees for transporting biowaste considered hazardous.
- The cost and expense of application of chemicals and medications because Natures Furnace eliminates weeds, parasites and bacteria in the burn.
- The environment from waste contamination by no longer over spreading your contaminated waste.
A vicious ice storm in Des Moines, Iowa a few years ago, resulted in close to 500 dump trucks a day of dead tree limbs being burned in the open for 63 days. If all of this (biowaste) was used by a Nature's Furnace installation, the approximate power output would have produced enough electricity for a community of 10,000 for ONE YEAR!
