>> Sabino Cortez is an innovator, an agronomist, and a Texan through
>>and through, with a fine appreciation of the state's pastures,
>>cropland and potential.
>> Serendipity played a role in his developing a system for making
>>instant compost and manure tea. A graduate of Tarleton State
>>University at Stephenville (a branch of the Texas A&M system), he
>>majored in plant and soil science. Later on he met Malcolm Beck at a
>>seminar, and with that meeting were born the developments discussed
>>in this interview.
>> Before meeting Beck, Cortez had encountered the water-pressure
>>cone, and he saw its application to agriculture's escalating manure
>>problem. Water under pressure could destroy pithium. Some five or
>>six years ago Cortez joined Beck in a partnership for the purpose of
>>using this modified manure to combat fire ants, which are a scourge
>>all over the Southwest. The outcome of that venture, among many
>>other topics, is covered in this interview.

>>ACRES U.S.A. We understand you have developed a system for getting
>>more economic value out of manure. What have you done?

>>
>>CORTEZ. I patented a process in 1992 using a hydrocyclone. The first
>>hydrocyclones were invented around 1910. They separate by
>>centrifugal gravity or centrifugal force, but they have no moving
>>parts. It's just the geometry of the cone, the shape of the cone
>>that separates anything heavier than water out of the water. It's
>>done by force. In other words, by having a lot of velocity in the
> >pump, it creates the centrifuge effect inside this cone, and so
> >without any moving parts other than the pump it's able to take
> >anything that's heavier than water and separate it out.
