The Byo-Gon business was based on Ron’s original work with the product at Lyons Falls Pulp & Paper where he co-authored a TAPPI paper on the successes in resolving environmental issues at the mill in 1998. He recently developed the ByoSoil product line which is used to successfully remove salt contamination from soils and to enhance plant growth in agricultural applications.
