What Makes Ashflow's Volcanic Mineral Source Different?
Most of the world's natural zeolite deposits - especially Clinoptilolite - are formed when volcanic ash settles into saltwater environments, such as marine basins or coastal lagoons. These conditions often introduce sodium-heavy compositions, variable impurities, and less predictable crystal structures. Ashflow is different.
Discover how Ashflow transforms industries with natural volcanic absorption with three powerful applications.
Oil Spill Cleanup
Our volcanic rock is sourced from specific geological formations that create a unique porous structure with exceptional absorption properties.
Microporous Structure
Natural volcanic formation creates millions of microscopic pores for maximum surface area
Ion Exchange Properties
Natural minerals enable selective absorption and chemical neutralization
Sustainably Sourced
Responsibly harvested volcanic material with minimal environmental impact
Odor Control
Harnessing Natural Zeolite to Neutralize Livestock and Compost Emissions
Ammonia Capture at the Source
Clinoptilolite Zeolite's high cation exchange capacity (CEC) allows it to bind ammonium ions (NH4+), reducing the release of ammonia gas - a primary cause of odor in manure and bedding areas.
Moisture Regulation in Bedding and Waste Zones
Ashflow helps maintain drier conditions in pens, stalls, and compost piles, limiting anaerobic bacterial activity that produces foul-smelling compounds like hydrogen sulfide.
Safe for Livestock and Soil
Naturally inert and classified as GRAS (Generally Recognized As Safe) by the U.S. FDA, Ashflow can be used directly in animal housing and compost systems without risk to animals or crops.
Improves Air Quality in Confined Operations
By reducing volatile emissions, Ashflow contributes to better respiratory conditions for both animals and workers - especially in enclosed barns or poultry houses.
Supports Nutrient Retention in Manure Management
Captured ammonium remains in the waste stream, enhancing the fertilizer value of composted manure when applied to fields.
Enhanced Soil Amendment
Boosting Soil Health with Natural Mineral Structure:
Improves Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC)
Clinoptilolite Zeolite enhances the soil's ability to retain and exchange essential nutrients like potassium, calcium, and ammonium - reducing leaching and improving plant uptake.
Regulates Moisture in Root Zones
Ashflow's porous structure acts like a natural reservoir, holding water during wet periods and releasing it slowly during dry spells, helping stabilize soil moisture levels.
Buffers Soil pH in Alkaline or Acidic Conditions
Its mineral lattice helps moderate pH swings, creating a more stable environment for microbial activity and root development.
Reduces Nitrogen Loss in Fertilized Fields
By capturing ammonium ions, Ashflow minimizes nitrogen volatilization and runoff, increasing fertilizer efficiency and reducing environmental impact.
Safe for Organic and Conventional Systems
Naturally inert and non-toxic, Ashflow can be used in certified organic operations and conventional agriculture alike, without introducing synthetic residues.
