The advantages of our technology
NUNOS's processing technology is based on a purely biological process and is installed directly on farms as a stand-alone system. This means that cattle manure and fermentation residues can be processed directly on site.
The result: a thin, odorless liquid fertilizer with nutrients that are directly available to plants. This enables precise fertilization according to plant needs and can be stored without loss thanks to chemically stable compounds. This significantly reduces emissions of ammonia and methane during storage and application - a significant contribution to climate protection.
In addition, the liquid fertilizer opens up new possibilities for the utilization of surplus manure. It can be used in greenhouses for special crops, ornamental plants and even in soilless cultivation.
As a spin-off of the German Aerospace Center, NUNOS builds on findings from space research to bring pioneering solutions to agriculture. With our innovative approach, we aim to establish regional nutrient cycles and make them more efficient - for a sustainable and resilient agriculture of tomorrow.
Better fertilizing effect
Nutrients are directly available to plants. Up to 20% higher yield possible compared to untreated manure.
Fewer greenhouse gases
Natural acidification reduces emissions of the greenhouse gases ammonia and methane.
New value creation
The new liquid fertilizer can be used as a replacement for mineral fertilizers in greenhouses.
Easy integration into existing structures
Our fully automated processing plant can be seamlessly integrated into existing structures of agricultural operations - directly at the stable or in front of your manure storage. The plant continuously processes the daily amount of cattle manure or fermentation residues and is designed to meet your individual requirements.
A big advantage: You can continue to use your existing storage options – there is no need to purchase additional storage capacity.
The technology explained in 2 minutes
The process in a nutshell
Without additives
The process does not require any additives such as sulphuric acid or rock flour.
Natural acidification
The fertilizer obtained from the plant is acidified (pH < 6.5), which significantly reduces emissions and increases the quality of the fertilizer.
Flexible Integration
The system can be flexibly connected to a stable or manure storage facility and seamlessly integrated into existing structures and operational processes.
encore
A pump continuously pumps the manure from the collection container over the carrier materials.
Operation
The system runs continuously at ambient pressure and low temperatures.
collection container
The prepared fertilizer solution is odorless and is stored and applied without loss.
reaction space
Microorganisms settle on carrier materials and convert the manure into something directly available to plants.
Modular construction
Individual system sizes offer the right solution for every occasion.
Energy-saving
Thanks to the biological method, the process is particularly energy-saving and can be operated entirely with renewable energy sources.
Liquid fertilizer
The process mainly produces a liquid fertilizer that is quickly available to plants. In addition, a phosphorus-rich sludge with a high organic content is produced.
recycling
The process is versatile and suitable for treating liquid organic waste from a wide variety of sources.
VISION & MISSION
At NUNOS, we are committed to establishing and efficiently designing regional nutrient cycles in agriculture. Our goal is to enable farmers to make optimal use of their resources, strengthen their independence and at the same time protect the surrounding ecosystems. Together, we are creating sustainable and future-proof agriculture.

Organic fertilizers: Organic fertilizers for organic farming
Organic fertilizers are essential for sustainable agriculture because they increase soil fertility and protect the environment. With the innovative CROP® process from nunos.bio, which was developed in collaboration with the German Aerospace Center, the advantages of organic fertilizers are used even more efficiently. Find out more about the effects, advantages and correct use of organic fertilizers for fertile soil and healthy plants.
