Bear River Zeolite

Bear River Zeolite (BRZ) mines and processes clinoptilolite zeolite from its own deposit in Preston, Idaho, selling directly under the BRZ trademark in bulk quantities across multiple particle sizes. Their product is 85 to 95 percent pure clinoptilolite, a natural volcanic mineral with high cation exchange capacity that captures, holds, and gradually releases charged ions, approximately 2.2 percent nitrogen loading capacity, and a surface area of roughly 24.9 square meters per gram. The zeolite contains approximately 3.5 percent potassium as a plant nutrient and 2.02 percent calcium as a pH buffer, with less than 0.5 percent non-water-soluble sodium and no significant concentrations of water-soluble toxic trace elements. Its low clay content makes it hard and resistant to attrition. In water and wastewater treatment, BRZ clinoptilolite removes ammonium, heavy metals, light metals, sodium, and radioactive isotopes from groundwater, municipal water, and industrial effluent, and serves as filtration media for swimming pools and ponds. Agricultural applications include soil amendment for slow nitrogen release, the Cattleprime branded flow agent and feed additive that improves pellet durability and reduces livestock odor through ammonium capture, and composting amendment that inhibits ammonia development. Industrial uses span air filtration for toxin and odor removal, mining effluent treatment, oil and gas applications, nuclear remediation, and artificial turf infill. The product carries AAFCO compliance for feed ingredients and OMRI Listed certification for organic production. BRZ is fundamentally a single-product company whose clinoptilolite serves multiple verticals through versatile ion-exchange and adsorption properties.
