The ingenuity of the black soldier fly (BFS) bioconversion module lies in the atmospheric control unit that manages temperature, humidity and airflow to create an optimum environment for BFS larvae to thrive. The unit’s design neatly hides any unsightly mess that comes with recycling food while also eliminating odours.
The bioconversion module is easy to use – simply open the hatch doors, pour organic waste inside the unit and BFS eggs. Once the doors are closed, turn on the atmospheric control and rotate the unit to the harvesting position.
The larval stage begins after the eggs hatch. Each day, a black soldier fly larva can consume twice its body weight in food. The larvae quickly breakdown food to ingest nutrients from organic waste. After ten days, organic waste is reduced into compost.
- Save on waste management costs.
- Space savvy.
- Minimal odour.
- Provides greener alternative to landfill dumping.
- Hygienic and easy to clean.
- Can be modified to collect biogas.
- Modular design makes it easy to expand and increase in size.
- Black soldier flies are known to be a harmless as it they don’t act as a vector of diseases (as compared to the common house fly).
