A Review of Organic Waste Treatment Using Black Soldier Fly (Hermetia illucens)

The increase in solid waste generation is caused primarily by the global population growth that resulted urban sprawl, economic development, and consumerism. Poor management has adverse impacts on environment human health. recent years have seen increasing interest using black soldier fly (BSF), Hermetia illucens, as an organic converter. Black larvae (BSFL) feed voraciously various types of waste, including food wastes, agro-industrial by-products, chicken dairy manure, reduce initial weight about 50% a shorter period than conventional composting. main components BSFL system are larvero, where grow, house, adults BSF live reproduce. It essential to rearing facility maintains healthy adult larval provide sufficient continuous supply offspring for treatment. processing consists pre-processing, biowaste treatment, separation from process residue, residue refinement into marketable products. digest nutrients wastes convert them beneficial proteins fats used produce animal feed, can be fertilizer.
