Traditional slurry management involves separating manure into solid and liquid fractions. This requires different machinery, creates complex logistics, and is inefficient due to the high water content in slurry. Farmers face high transport costs, local nutrient surpluses, and environmental challenges, especially in Nitrate Vulnerable Zones. The slurry concentrator offers a solution.
What makes the Slurry Concentrator different?
Instead of splitting slurry into solid and liquid fractions, the Slurry Concentrator separates it into two liquid phases:
How does the technology work?
The system uses a rotating filter cylinder to separate particles by size. Water and small nutrients are filtered out into the diluted fraction, while larger organic matter and nutrients remain in the concentrated fraction. This smart separation makes nutrient application more efficient.
How can farmers use the two fractions?
Diluted fraction: Ideal for nearby fields where soils are already nutrient-rich, reducing the risk of nutrient overload.
Concentrated fraction: Easier and cheaper to transport to distant fields where soils need more nutrients
What are the environmental benefits?
By optimising nutrient use and reducing waste, the Slurry Concentrator helps:
Prevent nutrient surpluses in livestock-dense areas.
Reduce reliance on external fertilisers in nutrient-poor regions.
Promote resource-efficient and sustainable farming
