industry as a crop fertilizer. In the age of expanded world
population, a rapidly increased need for food production, and global
environmental degradation, BioNitrogen is a company at the right
place and time. The Company's innovative, patent-pending technologies
transform residual agricultural waste and other biomass materials
into high-quality bulk urea for sale to agricultural wholesalers and
retailers. Modular in design and substantially smaller than
