The TimberFish Technologies system inputs include waste from distilling operations, wood chips from sustainably managed forests and fish fingerlings. Microbes and invertebrates grow within the system, contributing to outputs that include clean water, contaminant free mature fish, high-energy pellets, biofuel and potting soil.
