DRAMMATIC energy savings: Construction begins at Dramm facility

Dramm produces DRAMMATIC® Liquid Fish Fertilizer, derived from fish offal collected from commercial and sport fishermen. The full line of fertilizer is used in organic and conventional farming, as well as by home gardeners. By diverting millions of pounds of fish waste from landfills and waterways, we offer a sustainable solutons that promotes soil health.

The new solar farm will cover a total fenced area of 10,000 sq. ft., with 6,100 sq. ft. dedicated to 220 high-efficiency solar panels and one inverter, with a combined power output of 119,900 W-DC and 100,000 W-AC. Thanks to the FPEP grant, Dramm is able to invest in renewable energy infrastructure that will offset the facility’s energy consumption, with the potential to save up to 74% of the facility’s energy usage. The construction is expected to be completed in January 2025.

Over the next 20 years, this installation is projected to deliver substantial environmental benefits, including:

• Offsetting 2,384 tons of CO2 emissions - reducing greenhouse gases,

• Eliminating the equivalent of 5,419,908 miles driven by cars - lowering vehicle-

  related pollution,

• Planting an equivalent of 35,756 trees - reflecting Dramm’s dedication to eco-

  friendly practices.

  “Dramm Corporation is grateful for the FPEP grant award that allows us to invest in solar power to offset the energy needs at the Algoma fish plant,” said Fritz Dramm, Fertilizer Production and Compliance Manager.
