Converted Organics Inc. (NASDAQ:COIN) announced today that new systems and equipment recently installed at its flagship Woodbridge, New Jersey facility are fully operational and increasing the productivity and efficiency of the Company’s organic fertilizer manufacturing processes, while contributing to a reduction in overall operating expenses.

Within the past month, Converted Organics commissioned a new steam boiler to reduce odor and enable the raw material digesters to run at higher temperatures than before. The Company also installed a new instrumentation and control package that automates its granular organic fertilizer production line, resulting in improved production efficiency and product quality, as well as reduced manpower requirements. Additionally, Converted Organics installed a new centrifuge to increase processing capacity rate and reduce the need for de-watering additives during the manufacturing process, thereby lowering the cost of manufacturing operations substantially.

“The incorporation of this new equipment has significantly increased the production capacity and quality, as well as the overall efficiency, of both Converted Organics’ liquid and granular organic fertilizer manufacturing lines. These upgrades have also enabled us to appreciably lower the cost of manufacturing operations,” said Robert C. Bayliss, Vice President of Manufacturing for Converted Organics. “These improvements follow previously completed steps that successfully reduced odor emission from the Woodbridge facility. We are extremely pleased with all of these new developments at our plant.”
