MagneGas® Corporation, a technology company, counts among its inventions a patented process that converts liquid waste into a hydrogen-based fuel. Magnegas has procedures in place to control disease and contamination resulting in a product of the highest quality. They have joined with a one of the largest pig farms in the Midwest, raising over 40,000 pigs per year The hog farm will offer a safer sterilized pig manure to the surrounding agricultural community by using the MagneGas system while co-firing MagneGas® with propane or natural gas to reduce energy costs.

Following a successful demonstration, the hog farm has committed to buy a MagneGas sterilization system and will become an exclusive distributor for MagneGas products in the agricultural industry for Indiana, Ohio and Michigan. Spokesperson Luisa Ingargiola: "Using the concept of an arc, we sterilized manure instantly. The arc is 10,000°F and it renders the manure odorless and free of all bacteria. The hog farm will also be available as the MagneGas demonstration center for the agricultural sector that is expected to attract global interest in this new process.

MagneGas wants to sterilize manure waste making it easier to bring it to the field and have a very high quality fertilizer that is nearly odorless. They see a huge market in not only the pig industry but other industries like chicken and cattle as well. MagneGas also wants to maximize the gas bi-product to co-combust with either natural gas or propane to maximize the positive environmental effect and further reduce costs. Their goal as farmers is to be good stewards of the land and to leave it a better place than they found it.
