Craig Scott, Bion's director of communications, stated, "We are getting a lot of inquiries from shareholders, especially about SB 799. It is important to understand that the Bill wasn't defeated; it ran out of time. Additionally, we gained support from the Administration, the Chesapeake Bay Commission, and other stakeholders. We anticipate the bill being re-introduced early in the session and believe it will be adopted in the first half of 2019.

"We have been moving ahead with significant advancements to our 3G technology platform and expect to begin operating a small-scale pilot, beginning in January. Operating data from this pilot will be used to design and build a skid-mounted commercial pilot in the first half of 2019. We intend to operate that on waste streams from the four major livestock types: dairy, poultry, beef, and swine, in preparation for launching initial development stages of large-scale commercial projects in the second half of 2019."

Bion provides comprehensive treatment and resource recovery for animal waste from large-scale livestock production facilities. The technology platform achieves dramatic verified reductions in environmental impacts, including nutrients (nitrogen and phosphorus), ammonia, greenhouse and other gases, as well as pathogens in the waste stream, while improving resource and operational efficiencies through the production of valuable coproducts.
