About Biocover​

BioCover A/S Short history:

BioCover is a Danish company founded in 2009 by owner and CEO Morten Toft. The SyreN System project started as a result of the Danish government introducing legislation to inject all slurry into the soil. The SyreN System emerged as a vision of avoiding injection by converting the ammonia gas to ammonium salt during application, thereby being able to avoid injection and leave the slurry on top of the soil. This enables the use of wide working with and avoids heavy power consumption by the injection process. The process is also a huge environmental benefit as it is turning a significant pollution problem into increased crop growth as a sustainable and profitable fertilizer. As the project progressed, it became clear that the SyreN System process also made significant volumes of phosphorus plant available and supplied the correct amount of Sulphur as plant available sulphate.

The SyreN system is able to capture up to 70% of the ammonia emission from slurry application. As the ammonia emission is a serious air pollutant, causing P.M 2.5 and P.M. 10 particulate matter, it is a major contribution to reduction in air pollution. Reactive ammonia is the major cause of eutrophication of sensitive ecosystems and the aquatic environment, leaving the SyreN System to be a world class environmental protection at the same time as being a profitable fertilization system.
