The raw materials for the production of organic fertilizer in this organic manure production plant in Greece project mainly come from chicken manure from his own farm, and the auxiliary materials mixed in are straw, microbial agents, etc.
The microbial agents and other auxiliary materials are stored in the production workshop for standby use and shall not be piled in the open air. Straw is mainly crushed straw material purchased locally. It does not need to be crushed in the factory area and is not stored in the factory area.
After entering the factory, it is directly transported to the fermentation area of the fermentation workshop for mixing and fermentation. The moisture content of chicken manure used in this project is ≤60%, and no dehydration or other treatment is required after entering the factory.
Chicken manure is not stored in the factory area, but is directly transported to the fermentation area ofthe fermentation workshop by the automatic feeding belt conveyor for mixing and fermentation.
Mix chicken manure and straw (4:1) in a certain ratio, control the moisture content of the material to about 50%, and the carbon-nitrogen ratio (C/N): (20-30):1. When the fermentation conditions are met, use an automatic fermentation turning machine to spray the microbial agent for fermentation, and turn and stir evenly.
This organic manure production plant in Greece project adopts tank fermentation technology. The materials are aerobically fermented in the fermentation tank of the fermentation workshop. The fermentation workshop is automatically controlled by the control system, and the air supply and deodorization system are turned on.
Under the condition of rapid microbial reproduction, the temperature of the fermentation pile in the fermentation tank rises rapidly, and the pile is turned over every 2 days. During the fermentation period, the moisture content of the materials is controlled at about 50%, and the fermentation temperature is controlled at 60~70℃. Then, the materials are automatically turned over every day according to the temperature.
Fermentation generates a large amount of heat and water vapor, which eliminates pathogenic bacteria and weed seeds, and eliminates odors. In the last two days, functional bacteria that act on the soil are added.
Generally, the fermentation cycle is about 7-10 days:
After the fermentation is completed, the moisture content of the materials drops to about 30%. The fermented materials are transported by forklift to the semi-finished product storage workshop for temporary storage pending production.
The fermented materials are transported by forklift from the semi-finished product storage workshop to the automatic silo of the organic fertilizer production workshop. The moisture content of the fermented and decomposed organic fertilizer is about 30%, and it is in the form of large fibers and lumps. The crusher is used to crush the materials into suitable particle sizes.
The crushed materials are screened by the screening machine to remove the materials that are not fully decomposed and not crushed, and the unqualified materials are returned to the crushing or re-fermentation process.
The screened organic fertilizers are packaged in the automatic bagging machine, and the packaged products are sent to the finished product warehouse.

Chicken manure is rich in nutrients, including crude protein, crude fat, crude fiber, minerals, phosphorus, calcium, potassium, nitrogen, etc.
It is a high-quality fertilizer source and a prerequisite for conversion into organic fertilizer through fermentation. The moisture content of chicken manure is ≤60%. Chicken manure belongs to the aquaculture waste in the applicable category catalog of organic fertilizer production raw materials.
Mainly comes from surrounding farms, straw collection and storage points, etc., as compost raw materials. Its moisture content is ≤15%, carbon content is 46.5%, nitrogen content is 0.48%, phosphorus content is 0.06%, potassium content is 1.63%, and the carbon-nitrogen ratio of straw is as high as 96.9:1.
In addition to increasing the content of organic matter and potassium and adjusting the C/N ratio, it is also used to adjust the permeability of compost raw materials and improve the microecological environment of compost. Straw is not stored in the factory area.
The above organic waste mainly comes from surrounding farms. Before entering the factory, the supplier will pre-treat it to meet the corresponding fermentation requirements.
At the same time, the construction unit will inspect the organic waste entering the factory to ensure that the moisture content, heavy metal content, etc. meet the corresponding fermentation requirements. Sludge, other industrial solid waste and hazardous waste will not be used for fermentation.
It is composed of a large number of beneficial strains such as Bacillus, mold, yeast, actinomycetes, etc. It is a medium and high temperature aerobic bacteria agent that is good at decomposing crude protein, fat, cellulose and lignocellulose.
It can quickly heat up the fermented material, efficiently kill harmful pathogens, insect eggs and weed seeds, etc., quickly disperse macromolecular nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in the fermented material, and convert them into small molecular fast-acting nutrients that are beneficial to crop absorption, and form a large amount of humus and trace elements.
It is a pure microbial live spore preparation, and the product contains microbial strains with nitrogen fixation, phosphorus solubilization and potassium solubilization functions. Nitrogen-fixing bacteria can produce a large amount of nitrogenase, which can convert nitrogen molecules into nitrogen atoms that can be absorbed by plants for crops to use. At the same time, it has the ability to remove odors and improve the environment.
The removal rate of hydrogen sulfide and ammonia is not less than 60%. The fermented fertilizer has the effects of reducing soil bulk density, increasing soil activity, strengthening rhizosphere, curbing soil-borne diseases, and increasing crop yield and quality.
The deodorant of this project uses wood vinegar, which is a natural plant material extracted by biochemical high-tech. The main components of this product are acetic acid, phenols, and water, of which the organic component acetic acid accounts for more than 10%.
This product has strong bactericidal and antibacterial functions at high concentrations; it can inhibit the reproduction of miscellaneous bacteria at low concentrations and has antibacterial and anti-insect effects.
Wood vinegar can neutralize nitrogen and sulfur compounds and is used as a deodorant; wood vinegar contains many phenolic substances that can kill bacteria, disinfect and avoid pests as a disinfectant and insect repellent. It has been widely used in organic agricultural cultivation in developed countries.
The organic manure production plant in Greece project area has 1 fermentation workshop, 1 semi-finished product storage workshop and 1 production workshop. The fermentation workshop is located on the northwest side of the plant. There is 1 fermentation tank and 1 turner in the workshop.

The southeast corner of the plant is the production workshop, which is mainly used for post-processing of organic fertilizer production.
The northwest side of the workshop is the organic fertilizer bag loading area. The southwest corner is a raw material warehouse for storing fermentation bacteria, etc.
An automatic silo, organic fertilizer crusher, screening machine and bagging machine are set up on the south side of the middle of the workshop; the finished product storage warehouse is on the northeast side of the workshop.
The dust from organic fertilizer crushing, screening and packaging is treated by bag dust collector and then discharged through a 15m high exhaust pipe. The fermentation odorous waste gas is treated by biological deodorization device and then discharged through a 15m high exhaust pipe.
The layout of the project production workshop is arranged according to the production process flow, with clear functional divisions and smooth process flow, ensuring smooth maintenance and material transportation.
The layout of high-noise production equipment takes into account the production process while also taking into account the dispersed layout, combining noise and quietness, and maximizing the reduction of equipment operation noise. The overall layout of the project is based on various design specifications and principles such as building fire protection, safety and sanitation.
In summary, the overall layout of the organic manure production plant in Greece project is generally feasible.
The environmental protection projects set up for this organic manure production plant in Greece project are as follows:
The wastewater of this project is mainly domestic sewage. Domestic sewage is collected by septic tanks and regularly emptied for fertilization of surrounding farmland, and is not discharged.
Purchase low-noise equipment, take measures such as factory sound insulation and foundation vibration reduction for equipment with higher noise; at the same time, reasonably arrange the functions of the factory area.
Set up trash cans for domestic garbage, which will be uniformly disposed of by the local sanitation department after collection; the dust collected during the production process of the project is reused in production, and waste packaging materials are sold for disposal.
A 20㎡ general solid waste temporary storage room is set up in the southwest corner of the production workshop for general solid waste temporary storage in the factory area.
The organic manure production plant in Greece project implements zoning anti-seepage. The key anti-seepage area is the fermentation tank, with an equivalent clay anti-seepage layer of Mb≥6.0m, K≤1×10-7cm/s.
The general solid waste temporary storage room, raw material warehouse, production workshop, finished product warehouse, semi-finished product storage workshop, etc. are generally anti-seepage.
The equivalent clay anti-seepage layer in the general anti-seepage area is Mb≥1.5m, and the permeability coefficient is ≤1.0×10-7cm/s; simple anti-seepage is carried out on the office and factory roads, and simple anti-seepage is general ground hardening.
The prospects for building an organic fertilizer production line in Greece are generally optimistic, but factors such as market, policy and technology need to be fully considered.
Organic agriculture in Greece has developed rapidly. In 2022, the proportion of organic agricultural land in Greece reached 17.22% of agricultural land, ranking fifth in the EU after Estonia, Sweden, Portugal and Italy.
The Greek government's support for organic agriculture and the demand of the EU market provide broad market prospects for organic fertilizer production lines. In addition, Greece has excellent natural conditions and the Mediterranean climate is conducive to the growth of crops and animal husbandry, which further promotes the development of organic agriculture.
The Greek government has given policy support to organic agriculture, which provides a good policy environment for organic fertilizer production projects.
For example, the policy that purchasing real estate or land can obtain Greek permanent residence may attract more investors to enter the field of organic agriculture, thereby increasing the demand for organic fertilizer.
Despite the optimistic prospects, there are still some technical and market challenges in building an organic fertilizer production line in Greece. First of all, organic agriculture is an industry with a long investment cycle, which requires patience and continuous investment.
Although the demand for organic fertilizer is huge, the competition may be fierce, and companies need to continue to work hard on product quality and technological innovation. In addition, the consumer group facing the EU market is mainly non-Chinese groups, and companies need to adjust their market strategies and pay attention to the needs and preferences of the EU market.
