Costs assessment of Slurry Concentrator: Reduce Transport Costs and Improve Manure Management

Key Points

• This research aims to assess the costs and benefits of using a slurry concentrator for manure management.
• Analyzed the separation process of slurry into two phases.
• Evaluated the cost implications of transporting each phase.
• Assessed nutrient concentrations in each phase.
• The slurry concentrator effectively separates organic fractions and nutrients.
• Transport costs significantly decreased by optimizing phase separation.
• The process results in a low-nutrient liquid phase suitable for different applications.
