The plan is a 4.5 ha plant near Fredericia that dries, screens and packs zeolite, develops new products and makes its own electricity from manure. It costs about €55 m all in*. Here are the films, the reports and the arithmetic.
Every figure is our own estimate without supplier quotes. * marks an own estimate. The plant is planned, not built.
Rock in from the quay, dried, screened into five fractions, milled to powder and packed in big bags, sacks and small packs.
A pilot line and laboratory for new products, and two packing lines for retail goods.
A biogas plant on about 27,900 t of manure a year and a 280 kW gas engine. The manure lies within 9.8 km.
Three trucks collect manure and zeolite bags from streams and fish farms; fibre, zeolite and a phosphorus material become fertiliser pellets.
25,000, 50,000 and 100,000 t a year: €32.4 m, €43.3 m and €57.7 m for site and plant*.
The budget shows what it means if everything sells at list price. It is not a sales forecast, and the reports show what happens if it does not.

The same class visits the planned mine at Most and follows the rock home by train and ship.
The whole plant placed at the mine: factory, backup line, demonstration farm and a biogas plant that covers all the power.
Every report is available in Danish and English.
Factory, electricity, biogas, manure catchment, water, phosphorus, fertiliser, economy.
The first plant, year by year, at list price.
The half plant, with the three sizes side by side.
The double plant, with the three sizes side by side.
Backup line, demonstration farm, the plant at the mine, a biogas plant with no electricity bought.
A3: zones, buildings, traffic and land use.
A3: pit, plant and the link to the station.
A second, half-rate line at the middle and the large plant. It pays if it saves two or three days of sales a year.
A pig stable with two identical sections and a 40 ha test field at the large plant show farmers how to cut every route of pollution. Their value is the measurements.
Three 500 kW engines and one of 200 kW, a gas store and 63,000 t of manure make the large plant self-supplied, hour by hour.
A big bag lands cheaper in Denmark when the factory stands at the mine. Cash after five years at 50,000 t: €42.9 m → €78.6 m. But the concession is small, the rock is different, and the farm belongs in Denmark.
