Rézomes, a young innovative company founded in 2018, offers its expertise in organic farming techniques, equipment & materials :
1. Stainless steel fermentation devices designed to produce microbial activators to be used:
To enhance soil quality and structure.
To enhance crop protection against biotic or abiotic stresses.
To convert organic and animal waste into high quality bio-fertilizers.
To improve health conditions on livestock farms.
2. The same stainless steel fermentation devices can be used to produce fermented extracts of plants, as well as macerations, infusions, and decoctions of plants. These preparations contain active ingredients with various effects ranging from growth stimulation to protection against pests.
3 . Steel kilns designed to make biochar (charcoal of plant origin) by pyrolysis from biomass (wood, branches, crop residues...). Mostly made up of carbon, Biochar inputs bring up several advantages from an agronomic and environmental point of view:
Increases soil water retention thanks to its porous structure.
Increases Cation exchange capacity.
Improves microbiological activity (better environment for growth).
Carbon storage in a stable form.
Our innovation and expertise consist in the design of equipment allowing to run these processes in a controlled way, to obtain a product of constant and reproducible quality.
Technology description & Applications
The following technologies belong to the field of agronomic fertilization as well as environmental waste management. They allow a circular utilisation of agricultural biological waste to produce compounds with positive impact on crops growth as well as helping in depleted soils regeneration. In addition, it helps limiting / avoiding chemical inputs usage.
Our fermentation systems enable to implement anaerobic fermentation techniques that are derived from traditional Asian techniques allowing to grow Indigenous Microorganisms (IMO) or Effective Microorganisms (EM).
The principle of these fermentation techniques is to take beneficial microorganisms from soils in healthy and preserved ecosystems, then select and multiply them to obtain microbial activators with numerous benefits:
2. Fermentation devices to produce plant-base preparations
As an alternative, Rézomes fermenter devices can effectively be used to produce different types of preparations both fermented or not (macerations, infusions, and decoctions) from specific plants commonly used in organic agriculture.
Plant extracts are natural products containing active ingredients with various effects - directly or indirectly - ranging from growth stimulation to protection against pests, depending on the selected plants. They are thus proven alternatives to synthetic inputs now used by a growing number of farmers and landscaping professionals.
To follow are a few examples among a long list of useful biological compounds which may be obtained for plant-base preparations (See https://www.rezomes.com/extraits-fermentes).
3. Steel kilns to produce Biochar (charcoal from biomass)
Pyrolysis in absence of oxygen from biomass (wood, branches, crop residues, etc…) is made possible by the biochar kilns design in particular the bottom water injection system and the removable double wall which improves convection and combustion of pyrolysis gases.
This pyrolysis leads to the production of three elements: a mixture of gases, an oily liquid fraction (bio-oil) and a solid residue with a high carbon content, called biochar. Mostly made up of carbon, both mineral and organic, biochar presents several benefits from an agronomic and environmental point of view:
Biochar is a very complementary and synergistic input to compost or manure in order to improve soil quality. Several studies have examined the effects of biochar on compost maturation and found that adding biochar to compost reduced the amount of labile carbon in the compost while increasing the fraction of stable humic matter, even with an addition of only 2% to the compost (Jindo et al, 2012).
Specifications - New and innovative aspects
Our innovation and expertise consist in the design of equipment allowing to run these processes in a controlled way, in order to obtain a product of constant and reproducible quality.
All of premium fermentation devices feature the same design for controlled and reproducible process. They are practically unique in their category on the market:
Such equipment is designed for simple and ergonomic use allowing to save time, especially in cleaning and handling. Made 100% with stainless steel, Rézomes equipment is durable and designed for daily and intensive use.
2. Expertise to support local manufacture of equipment
Note than Rézomes also offers the alternative to provide their expertise for the « in-situ » manufacture of equipment with local materials assessing local professionals (in design office mode).
3. Biochar kilns (See https://www.rezomes.com/biochar/)
Inspired by the Kon Tiki open source model developed by the Swiss Ithaka Institute, Rézomes models present many advantages and are designed robustly for regular self-production of biochar:
Intellectual property status
100% open-source processes and models. Rézomes models are open source under Creative Commons license (possible reproduction for personal use).
Current development status
Commercially available technologies
TRL 8 – Complete and qualified system.
Technology is demonstrated and widely used under tropical and Continental Europe environmental & climatic conditions but requires testing and adaptation under significantly different climate conditions like Mediterranean or even hotter/drier climatic conditions (eg. Middle East).
Microbial activators should be generated from local sources of typical growth material such as local compost or vermicompost, wheat, rice or barley bran, whey, sugarcane or date molasse.
Desired business relationship
Technology selling
Adaptation of technology to other markets
Rézomes (https://www.rezomes.com/) is a novel company already with a well-recognized expertise in its specialized field of organic agriculture. Rézomes mindset is to design solutions using farming techniques recognized and widespread throughout the world to take care of soil, plants and livestock while respecting agro-systems. We also support customers towards self-autonomy by manufacturing equipment and sharing processes.
We look at collaborating with Companies interested in acquiring this technology and /or equipment for use and / or commercial exploitation, through the following transactions:
