SUMMARY
SITUATION
The livestock farm was generating large volumes of slurry with a high concentration of solids, which made tank management difficult and resulted in uneven field application.
In addition, the farmer did not have enough agricultural land to handle the full nitrogen load and was facing rising costs, the risk of environmental non-compliance, and the lack of a solution that could add value to the slurry.
SOLUTION
Plana Machinery designed and installed a complete separation plant, equipped with:
- Prefiltraje EMBAT 12
- Separador TERRAL 15
- Sistema de agitación y bombas de impulsión
The process makes it possible to efficiently separate the slurry into solid and liquid fractions, sending the solid portion to a composting plant and obtaining a liquid with a lower nitrogen load.
Thanks to this treatment, an approximate 15% reduction in nitrogen is achieved, simplifying management and optimizing agricultural application.
BENEFITS
The installed plant reduces the need for agricultural land to manage the slurry and makes its application easier by producing a more homogeneous liquid that is simpler to spread in the field. The solid fraction is recovered through composting, turning part of the waste into a useful resource with potential for external use. In addition, the approximate 15% reduction in nitrogen in the liquid fraction contributes to more sustainable management and better compliance with current regulations. This solution meets the BAT-19 criteria for slurry treatment, providing regulatory assurance and potentially facilitating future access to grants or programs linked to good environmental practices.
