Slurry Concentrator to reduce transport costs

In regions with high livestock density, there is an imbalance between the volume of nutrients generated and the farmland available for their application. While nutrients are essential for crop production, they are also the cause of serious soil, water and atmospheric pollution problems if not properly managed and applied to land. Slurry concentrator separates manure into two phases: a semi-liquid phase (concentrating the majority of the organic matter and nutrients) to be transported and applied to distant fields where nutrients are not available; and a liquid phase (with a low nutrient concentration) to be applied in a nearby field. The differentiated management of the two phases is designed to minimise transport costs and optimise the application of nutrients to the soil from the agronomic and environmental perspectives.
